[Bubba-users] Where to put the bubba_menu.conf to show multiple interfaces at same menu

[Pou L. <po...@ba...>]

Hi,

If anyone can offer assistance, it will be much appreciated since the last
relevant posting to the list appeared to be back in 2003.

I have installed Bubba 0.0.7pre6 on a Solaris 9 X86 box and it runs quite well
monitoring three interfaces to two service providers.

Is it correct to assume by configuring bubba_menu.conf, the three otherwise
discrete interefaces can be grouped into one selection menu instead of three
menus each with just one interface? I have found a few excellent examples in
the examples directory in etc but cannot seem to get it working by placing the
bubba_menu.conf in either the etc (i.e., /usr/local/bubba/etc) or index (i.e.,
/usr/local/bubba/index) directory.

Also, is there an easy way to change the percentile value for a specific
interface? The values like 90% and 97% have been mentioned in our negotaion
with the service providers.

Thanks again,
Pou

[Bubba-users] FASD project: Online survey launched

[<ben...@id...>]

Dear Open Source developer

I am doing a research project on "Fun and Software Development" in which I kindly invite you to participate.
You will find the online survey under http://fasd.ethz.ch/qsf/. The questionnaire consists of 53 questions and you will need about 15 minutes to complete it.

With the FASD project (Fun and Software Development) we want to define the motivational significance of fun when software developers decide to engage in Open Source projects. What is special about our research project is that a similar survey is planned with software developers in commercial firms. This procedure allows the immediate comparison between the involved individuals and the conditions of production of these two development models. Thus we hope to obtain substantial new insights to the phenomenon of Open Source Development.


With many thanks for your participation,
Benno Luthiger


PS:
The results of the survey will be published under http://www.isu.unizh.ch/fuehrung/blprojects/FASD/.
We have set up the mailing list fa...@we... for this study. Please see http://fasd.ethz.ch/qsf/mailinglist_en.html for registration to this mailing list.

[Bubba-users] Daily average instead of 5 min average

[Steven S. <ssu...@en...>]

Greetings,

I have a customer requesting being billed on a daily average instead of =
the
5 minute samples.  So, I would obtain the average for the day, calculate =
the
95 percentile (basically throw away the two highest days) and bill off =
that.


Any thoughts on how I might augment Bubba for that task?

Thanks!

-Steve S.

[Bubba-users] uninitialized value

It appears I was extracting data for "today" when performing monthly

RE: [Bubba-users] Graph week vs Calendar week

[Todd A. G. <sla...@aw...>]

Found the problem.  It only happens on the monthly graph, NOT in the
percentile calcs.

I think it was a forgotten debug for some reason.

Find the following line in bubba_menu.cgi and remove it.

$graph_ref->{'start'} += 86400;

Thanks again!

Nope, it's not a 'bit of a nit', it's actually a bug...

If you add the _debug arg to the graph generation URL you'll see
something like this.

$VAR1 = {
  'adjustment' => 8639,
  'length' => 2591700,
  'target' => '/tmp/bubba-cache/bubba-46adf57c.gif',
  'percentile' => '95th',
  'date' => 'June, 2003',
  'end' => 1057121700,
  'start' => 1054530000
};

This includes the start and end times in epoch (secs since 1970)
format.  If you decode those you'd find out that they are.

Start = Mon Jun  2 00:00:00 2003
End = Tue Jul  1 23:55:00 2003

i.e. shifted forward by one day!

Not really.  It's so that if the timestamp 'record' gets separated from
the hash you can still figure out what it's timestamp was.

$rate_ref = {
  'timestamp' => '12039911',
  'in'        => '2342341',
  'out'       => '53512',
};

$rates_ref->{$interface}->{$rate_ref->{'timestamp'}} = $rate_ref;

Only reason that comes to mind is that there is no data for that
timestamp in the original RRD file.  Without looking at the RRD data for
that period I couldn't tell you.

[Bubba-users] Graph week vs Calendar week

[Steven J. S. P. <ssu...@en...>]

Here's another interesting item.

It appears the graph week starts on Monday while the Calendar week =
starts on
Sunday.  I'll look into this further shortly.  But this month the first
falls on Sunday and I didn't see graphed data until the third (when the =
data
for the 2nd was migrated.)

[Bubba-users] Using Max(in, out)

[Steven J. S. P. <ssu...@en...>]

Todd,

I've been playing with an html-based text report and the Max(in, out)
feature and am receiving some warnings...

---
Use of uninitialized value in numeric comparison (<=>) at ./report-html.cgi
line 810.
---

It appear to be a result of the 'sort' function.  Any insight?

---
sub calc_percentiles {
...
    if ($interface ne 'exclude_ranges') {
      if (lc($Global::Percentile_Calc) eq 'max(in,out)') {
        my $calc_rate_ref = {};
        my $percentile_rate = '';
        foreach my $field ('in','out') {
          my @samples = sort { $a->{$field} <=>
                               $b->{$field} } values
%{$rates_ref->{$interface}};

I have attached the HTML summary report generator for your enjoyment.

RE: [Bubba-users] Changing interfaces

[Todd A. G. <sla...@aw...>]

F.Y.I. sent an email to the RRDTool mailing list and got a response.

RRD's logic works thus: If either of the srcs are NaN (No Value) then
the result of an addition between them is also NaN.  

The person included an example CDEF which will set a src to 0 if it's
NaN allowing the graph to be generated correctly.  I'm working on how to
apply this to BUBBA.

RE: [Bubba-users] Changing interfaces

[Todd A. G. <sla...@aw...>]

I know what is causing it, just need to think of a good solution.

RRDTool doesn't like the fact that the first of the two files doesn't
have data past the point you switched interfaces.

What is needed is to update the file to the end of the month with NaN or
0.  Now I'm pondering how this might be accomplished cleanly.

RE: [Bubba-users] Changing interfaces

[Steven J. S. P. <ssu...@en...>]

Thanks for the hint on the &_debug.  I was wondering how to use that
(manually putting print statements when needed is a drag.)

BTW, I have a messy version of the text based report working.  It works
pretty hard to obtain the data, but it works.  I'm going to clean it up =
this
weekend and add customer specific HTML email reports next week.

Getting closer...

In the past I had only used the formulas to add interfaces that were =
both
taking data.

I just happen to have (back in march) a case like your where we moved a
connection from one interface to another.  When I setup the formula I =
get
the same results as you (calcs, but no graph).

Thinking I might have broken the formulas at some point I added one that
adds two interfaces that are currently being used.  That worked so that
tells me this is something I hadn't seen before.

BTW It is possible to enable 'debug' mode by adding &_debug=3Dtrue at =
the end
of a particular CGI call.

One example would be to view the graph separatly (right-click and select
'view image' with mozilla).  You will then see the CGI call used to =
generate
the graph.  By adding &_debug=3Dtrue you will see a dump of a ton of =
data
structures.  One of them looks like this:

$VAR3 =3D [

];

This you might recognize (if you've worked with RRDTool directly) is the
array of commands sent to RRDs::graph.

Somewhere in here lies the problem.

I think I've found one potential issue, but it may be with my data.  The
start time listed is actually Sun Mar  2 00:00:00 2003 instead of Sat =
Mar  1
00:00:00 2003.  I haven't looked into this one yet, but I suspect =
Daylight
Savings Time as being the culprit here.

Anyway back to the issue of no data in the graphs.

My thinking is that RRDGraph maybe getting annoyed about having two
datasources one which doesn't have data at the end of the request time
period, and another that doesn't have data at the beginning.

I'm going to setup some scripts to plug these args directly into =
RRDGraph
and see what it gives me.

Thanks again for the help.

I dumped the RRDGraph commands to a shell script with the same effect.

If I remove one or the other interfaces the graph is generated.

Apparently RRDGraph doesn't like doing the CDEF on my data sources. 
Going to have to dig into the RRD files to see what's annoying it.

[Bubba-users] Changing interfaces

[Steven J. S. P. <ssu...@en...>]

That seems to have changed the 95th percentile calculation, but data for one
of the interfaces is not presented on the graph.  I attached some gifs of
what shows up...

I tried ordering the interfaces differently in bubba_menu.conf but it did
not seem to make a difference.  It also did not change which interface was
displayed.

Yes there is, it's called a formula.

Here's a sample from one of the example files included in the distribution.

  <formula id="billable">
    <description>Billable Interfaces</description>
    <default>0</default>
    <operation>+/switches/ionic-5500a/interfaces/3_24</operation>
    <operation>+/switches/ionic-5500b/interfaces/5_4</operation>

    <operation>+/switches/ionic-5500b/interfaces/6_1</operation>
    <operation>+/switches/ionic-5500b/interfaces/6_12</operation>
  </formula>

This would go in the bubba_menu.conf file for the customer in question.

No, Thank you!

BTW I haven't forgotten about the previous request dealing with text-based
reports.  That one is significant enough that I'm waiting on 0.0.8 to
implement it.  Got myself stuck on some ACL stuff for the new portal
(bubba_menu.cgi replacement).

Thanks again!

My next task is to (still) produce text-based summaries.  One summary =

Do you happen to have the prototype documented for the $form_data_ref
variable in bubba_menu.cgi?

Via RRDs::graph you would add a --height <pixels> and/or --width =
<pixels>
arguments.

I've added two global vars in bubba_conf.pl $Global::Graph_Height,
$Global::Graph_Width which will override the RRDs::graph defaults.

This is in 0.0.7pre4.  Haven't release it yet though.  Waiting for your =

Yes there is, it's called a formula.

Here's a sample from one of the example files included in the
distribution.

  <formula id="billable">
    <description>Billable Interfaces</description>
    <default>0</default>
    <operation>+/switches/ionic-5500a/interfaces/3_24</operation>
    <operation>+/switches/ionic-5500b/interfaces/5_4</operation>
    <operation>+/switches/ionic-5500b/interfaces/5_15</operation>
    <operation>+/switches/ionic-5500b/interfaces/6_1</operation>
    <operation>+/switches/ionic-5500b/interfaces/6_12</operation>
  </formula>

This would go in the bubba_menu.conf file for the customer in question.

No, Thank you!

BTW I haven't forgotten about the previous request dealing with
text-based reports.  That one is significant enough that I'm waiting on
0.0.8 to implement it.  Got myself stuck on some ACL stuff for the new
portal (bubba_menu.cgi replacement).

Re: [Bubba-users] Image size (Holy cow, a posting!)

[Todd A. G. <sla...@aw...>]

Via RRDs::graph you would add a --height <pixels> and/or --width
<pixels> arguments.

I've added two global vars in bubba_conf.pl $Global::Graph_Height,
$Global::Graph_Width which will override the RRDs::graph defaults.

This is in 0.0.7pre4.  Haven't release it yet though.  Waiting for your
next request. ;)

[Bubba-users] Image size (Holy cow, a posting!)

[Steven J. S. P. <ssu...@en...>]

Is there an easy way to adjust the size of the image?  Ideally via
RRD::graph and not just via HTML.

Thanks.

[Bubba-users] BUBBA 0.0.7pre1 Released

[Todd A. G. <sla...@aw...>]

In response to requests, issues, my own needs, etc, I have release
0.0.7pre1.  It is available at http://bubba.sf.net/

This version includes fixes for a file naming issue as well as warnings
and other cleanups.

Features:

Added support for Max(in,out) percentile calculation.
  This determines the percentile value by running the calculation on
ifInOctets and ifOutOctets separately and choosing the larger of the two
values.
  The graph parameters have been changed to match Crickets (AREA for In,
LINE for Out).

Added support for using Cricket datasources for current day
calculations.
  Previously the current day's values were unavailable until the
extraction was run.
  This gives you a current percentile calc to match the historic data in
BUBBA.
