Re: [Devmon] Alarms msgs

[Schwimmer, E. E *H. <EE...@hs...>]

The "Alarming on" line doesn't mean that there is necessarily an active
alarm for that table row, but rather that devmon is monitoring that row
for *potential* alarms.

If you are only monitoring certain rows (via the "ao" flag, either in
the template or in the device-specific DEVMON flag in your bb-hosts) and
you're still getting "alarming on" lines for all rows, then there's
seomthing broken in devmon.  If that's the case, please let me know :)

[Devmon] Alarms msgs

[Aiello, S. \(G. C. consultant\) <ste...@ge...>]

I was curious if anyone else is seeing the issue I am.  When I do not
disable alarm messages (TABLE:noalarmsmsg), I see alarm messages for
every row regardless of the color status. green, yellow, red.

Hi Eric,

thanks for your answer. I was already implementing some test with NCV when =

your email came in.  Your third solution seems the most obvious one to me. =

I now monitor some ups'es and graph the load of the ups'es. Maybe it's=20
wise to write a universal data parser to integrate in the hobbit ? The=20
idea to hide some info in the HTML tags is already something that I like.=20
But who will Hobbit-NCV parse those message ?

I like the integration with Hobbit, keep up the good work.

Re: [Devmon] Question






Hi Benoit,
=20
This problem stems from the fact that the rrd files that hobbit builds=20
natively are generated by compiled code, within the hobbit program, which=20
look for specific strings in tests that it knows about (i.e. conn, http,=20
ftp, ssh, etc).  If hobbit can?t find string it is looking for in the test =

(or it doesn?t know anything about the test, like if=5Fstat), then it won?t=
=20
be able to collect data to write to an rrd file (and thus won?t be able to =

graph it).
=20
Right now there are three solutions to this problem:
=20
1.      If hobbit knows about the test that devmon generates (for instance =

some of the included devmon templates generate ?cpu? tests, which hobbit=20
knows about.  However the devmon output is different from what hobbit=20
expects, so you don?t get any rrd data) you can tweak your devmon template =

so that it matches bb-xsnmp, or some other client that hobbit knows about=20
and supports rrd collection for.
=20
2.      Code your own rrd collector (in C) for hobbit, or patch an=20
existing hobbit collector.  This is the solution I?ve chosen to go with,=20
for the moment, as it provides me with the most flexibility for=20
manipulating the data.  I?ve released my patches & modules in the past on=20
this list, however I?m loathe to maintain them, as they need to be updated =

and re-applied with each hobbit upgrades.
=20
3.      Use the ?nonhtml? TABLE flag in your message file, to create an=20
NCV format table, which hobbit can process (read the hobbitd=5Frrd man page=
=20
for more info on this.  This table format isn?t really pleasing to the=20
eye, however; so you come up with an ugly page with a graph.  One idea I=20
just now had is to embed the NCV portion of the data in an HTML comment=20
(i.e. =DF! =E0), so it doesn?t show up on the web page, and then include th=
e=20
HTML version as well.  This will double the size of the history log stored =

on disk, but I doubt anybody will really complain about that J  If people=20
think this is a good idea I can roll it into 0.2.3.
=20
You can also create your own custom rrd script (once again see the=20
hobbitd=5Frrd man page) to handle rrd data, but that creates A LOT of=20
overhead if you are monitoring 1000+ devices, and at that rate you might=20
as well just take a jab at creating your own hobbit rrd module in C.

I've got this done, but not yet debugged.  I ended up using
'hobbitdboard test=3Dconn field=3Dhostname,color" instead of "query", as =
it
allowed me to get all the device status in one easy to parse message. =20

I haven't tested it yet; that's next week :)

Re: [Devmon] no email on critical situation from BB

[Schwimmer, E. E *H. <EE...@hs...>]

=20

Hrm, haven't encountered this problem, yet.  Have you tried using the
hobbitd_alert program to simulated a red message send to the alert
daemon?

=20

Assuming your hobbit home dir is /usr/local/hobbit and you wanted to
test to see what pages/emails an 'if_stat' devmon test going red would
generate, this command would simulate it:

=20

/usr/local/hobbit/server/bin/hobbitd_alert myrouter if_stat 300 red

=20

If you don't see any lines that start with '*** Match with', that means
your hobbit-alerts.cfg file isn't set up to deal with the devmon tests.
If this is the case, you should consult the appropriate docs and do so.

=20

However, if you ARE getting "match with" lines, but still aren't getting
pages, that points to some deeper problem with devmon (and possibly
within the way that hobbit treats devmon messages, although I'm more apt
to point fingers at my own rickety code than Henrik's).

Hi Eric,

good to see you back on the list!

I still have the problem that devmon don`t send out an alert via BB when
a critical situation is reached.
On the BB-Webpage it's displayed correctly with a red dot; but no email
generated from within BB.

I think this was asked in the past by several other people. Do you have
an explanation for this?

Sorry if this was questioned in the past; it means I'm still missing
something...

Yes. BB don't support it from what I know, in my script I check for
hobbit to be available before using specific hobbit command or hobbit
syntax (like /group).

It's interesting to get the host status just to avoid to try to get data
from a dead host that probably have to wait for SNMP to timeout.

I think I was getting some problems in the past with some routers
unreachable getting purple and  from what I see errors are not reported
in the dm column.

Hrm, well I'm fairly sure that original BigBrother doesn't support=20
two-way communication between client and server the way hobbit does, so
I'd hate to do something that breaks that backward compatility (I could
have devmon check to see if the display server type was set to bb or
hobbit in the config, I suppose).  Right now hobbit barks when it can't
connect to the display server;  I could add some more functionality to
devmon so that "critical" errors result in an email sent, or something
along those lines.

As above.  This would require having the bb client installed on the
devmon system, as well as making a shell call out to it (I try to avoid
making shell calls, since they are expensive).  I've tried getting
two-way communication going between devmon and hobbit in the past, but
I've been defeated by some weirdness in perl's IO::Socket routines (I
can get the client to send or receive, but not both.  However, I've
written a C client that works fine.  Go figure).  I'll poke at my
two-way communication some more, maybe I'm not not flushing a buffer
properly, or something.

Doesn't devmon already do this?  The only time when I get purple is when
I stop the devmon client and forget to start it again.

Re: [Devmon] Question

[Schwimmer, E. E *H. <EE...@hs...>]

Hi Benoit,

=20

This problem stems from the fact that the rrd files that hobbit builds
natively are generated by compiled code, within the hobbit program,
which look for specific strings in tests that it knows about (i.e. conn,
http, ftp, ssh, etc).  If hobbit can't find string it is looking for in
the test (or it doesn't know anything about the test, like if_stat),
then it won't be able to collect data to write to an rrd file (and thus
won't be able to graph it).

=20

Right now there are three solutions to this problem:

=20

1.	If hobbit knows about the test that devmon generates (for
instance some of the included devmon templates generate 'cpu' tests,
which hobbit knows about.  However the devmon output is different from
what hobbit expects, so you don't get any rrd data) you can tweak your
devmon template so that it matches bb-xsnmp, or some other client that
hobbit knows about and supports rrd collection for.

=20

2.	Code your own rrd collector (in C) for hobbit, or patch an
existing hobbit collector.  This is the solution I've chosen to go with,
for the moment, as it provides me with the most flexibility for
manipulating the data.  I've released my patches & modules in the past
on this list, however I'm loathe to maintain them, as they need to be
updated and re-applied with each hobbit upgrades.

=20

3.	Use the 'nonhtml' TABLE flag in your message file, to create an
NCV format table, which hobbit can process (read the hobbitd_rrd man
page for more info on this.  This table format isn't really pleasing to
the eye, however; so you come up with an ugly page with a graph.  One
idea I just now had is to embed the NCV portion of the data in an HTML
comment (i.e. <--! -->), so it doesn't show up on the web page, and then
include the HTML version as well.  This will double the size of the
history log stored on disk, but I doubt anybody will really complain
about that :-)  If people think this is a good idea I can roll it into
0.2.3.

=20

You can also create your own custom rrd script (once again see the
hobbitd_rrd man page) to handle rrd data, but that creates A LOT of
overhead if you are monitoring 1000+ devices, and at that rate you might
as well just take a jab at creating your own hobbit rrd module in C.

=20

HTH,

-Eric

Re: [Devmon] template Brocade SAN-Switches

[Kauffman, T. <Kau...@ni...>]

I'm not sure if the memory leak is in devmon or in some of the
supporting libraries, but the only templates I've been working with are
the brocade switches.

Part of it could be in the error message delivery; I get lots of errors
on these, some of which I don't understand.=20

Case in point:

These are the OIDs for port status --
swFCPortPhyState        : .1.3.6.1.4.1.1588.2.1.1.1.6.2.1.3     : branch
swFCPortOpStatus        : .1.3.6.1.4.1.1588.2.1.1.1.6.2.1.4     : branch
swFCPortAdmStatus       : .1.3.6.1.4.1.1588.2.1.1.1.6.2.1.5     : branch
swFCPortLinkState       : .1.3.6.1.4.1.1588.2.1.1.1.6.2.1.6     : branch
swFCPortIndex           : .1.3.6.1.4.1.1588.2.1.1.1.6.2.1.1     : branch

swFCPortIndex is the physical port number, 1 through 32. So what does
this error mean?

[06-09-15@08:22:23] No SNMP data found for ifName on whitewater
[06-09-15@08:22:23] Cant find snmp data for swFCPortInde* on whitewater

This is the corresponding message file --
TABLE:
Port Number|Port state|Admin Status|Operational Status|Link Status
{swFCPortIndex}|{swFCPortPhyStateTxt.color}{swFCPortPhyStateTxt}|{swPort
AdmTxt.color} {swPortAdmTxt}|{swPortOpTxt.color}{swPortOpTxt}|{sw
PortLinkTxt.color} {swPortLinkTxt}

And swFCPortIndex is reported correctly. But I get the error for every
switch on every cycle.

I'm using MRTG to track port usage (the pretty graphs impress the boss,
and help me track trends) but I want to get devmon up for actual port
status and infrastructure checks.

Thanks --

Tom Kauffman

Hi Tom;  does the memory leak only seem to happen when you are using the
Brocade template?  If so, I'll download it and have a gander (looks like
you posted it in a later message).  Hopefully I can pin down what is
causing the problem w/o having to run it against something (we don't

If I have the right understanding about the way devmon works: it's just
the daemon that queries the devices, makes the calculations, generating
the status messages and send them to the BB/Hobbit server as configured
in the devmon.cfg.

Running the devmon -readbbhost is just for updating the internal
database with newly added systems to the bbhosts file, so that the
daemon will queery them in the next loop.

For running devmon -readbbhosts you can setup a cronjab to do it
periodically ( probably every 10 min ..)

Hey MArco

=20

The documentation isnt very clear but,  you have to first get devmon
running in daemon mode first, basically just start it with no options,
you should see if fire off about 6 child processes.  After that then you
need to run devmon with the --readbbhosts option every  couple minutes
to report the data back to hobbit.

=20

I had to first run devmon in the forground with 5 v's   ./devmon -f
-vvvvv     to see errors that I had and fix before the cronjob would
send data back to hobbit.

Re: [Devmon] Cisco Memory Utilization

[Schwimmer, E. E *H. <EE...@hs...>]

Hi Gbenga,

There might two two separate issues at play, here:

One is that devmon is failing its snmp query against the remote device =
(which can be one of any number of problems, i.e. wrong snmp read id, =
wrong snmp version, device doesn't support requested OID, snmp not set =
up on the remote device, snmp queries being blocked on the remote device =
due to an acl/firewall, etc etc).   Have you verified (via a commandline =
snmpget/walk) that you are able to query this OID on the remote device =
from the machine that you are running devmon on?

Secondly, it looks like you have defined the "ciscoMemoryPoolUsed" oid =
alias twice;  once in your oids file, and once in your transforms file.  =
Keep in mind that oid aliases must be unique (ie they cannot be =
redefined) and that aliases defined in the oids file and transforms file =
overlap.  I would suggest renaming the alias in the transforms file to =
something that describes the transform that you are applying to it (i.e. =
ciscoMemoryPoolUsedTxt if you are using a SWITCH transform, or =
ciscoMemoryPoolUsedPct if you are using a MATH transform to convert it =
to a percentage, etc).

HTH,

Yeap.  Well the CVS on the devmon sf site isn't even set up yet; but
yes, I'd move everything to my home server (although not until after
I've replaced the 60 year old telephone cable that my home DSL is
running off of).

I suspect you mean, in addition to moving source + mailing list to your
home server, you're also moving CVS.
If you get this email, I would love to see this off of sf. I have very

being terribly slow and it often not containing the newest CVS.=20

It's also such a hassle to post bugs/forum requests/etc there that I,
like most people (I assume), don't even bother.

Good to know you're back on Devmon :D=20
Do you already have some idea on what will be included in 0.2.3?=20

 Looks like a good news ;)

 See my previous post about regsub on leaves.  I made another (very
 minor) fix in the same file but I don't have code here, I'll post it
 whenever possible, probably tomorrow.

 Having access to the latest dev code sounds interesting.

 Have a great evening.

[Devmon] Surprise!

I'm not dead!

Yes, I know I've been unattentive to the Devmon project; I apologize.
Between my system admin duties, on call, and other software projects, I
don't have as much time to spend on Devmon as I might otherwise like.  I
know I've made this excuse before, but it's very true.

hopefully I can go back through everybody's bug reports/requests and

[Devmon] REGSUB on leaves

[<ga...@fr...>]

Hello all,

First of all, thanks to all contributors to this project, I discovered
it today, downloaded the latest version (0.2.2) and started some
templates for our SonicWALL appliances, this is really nice piece
software and very well documented.  After a few hours of work, I
already got very convincing results.  This looks really promising.

While I was creating a template, I discovered that it was not possible
to apply a REGSUB on a leaf.  In other words, if you have something
like this in "oids" :

-<start file>-----------------------------
sysDesc         : .1.3.6.1.2.1.1.1.0    : leaf
-<end file>-------------------------------

And the following in "transforms" :

-<start file>-----------------------------
ModelTxt   : REGSUB : {sysDesc} /SonicWALL (.*) \(SonicOS.*\)/$1/
SonicOSTxt : REGSUB : {sysDesc} /SonicWALL .* \(SonicOS (.*)\)/$1/
-<end file>-------------------------------

It does not work as expected.
(I wanted to split the "description" into two separated strings)


I fixed the problem doing the following changes in dm_tests.pm :

-<start file>-----------------------------
1945,1947c1945
<       my $exp_val =3D $oids->{$primary_oid}{'val'};
<       my $eval_cmd =3D "\$exp_val =3D~ s$expression";
<       my $result =3D eval($eval_cmd);
---
>       my $result =3D eval($expression);
1949c1947
<         do_log("Failed eval for REGSUB transform on $oid on $device
($@)", 0);
---
>         do_log("Failed eval for MATH transform on $oid on $device ($@)"=
,
0);
1955c1953
<       $oids->{$oid}{'val'}  =3D $exp_val;
---
>       $oids->{$oid}{'val'}  =3D $result;
-<end file>-------------------------------


I don't know if this was the best way to do.  Maybe this is already
fixed in a newer non-released version ?

In any case, comments are welcome.

Have a good day.

[Devmon] devmon won't start on Solaris 8

[Dean C. <dc...@pa...>]

Hi -=20

Installed devmon today on Solaris 8 machine. Starting devmon as the
Hobbit user with=20

su - hobbit -c "/usr/local/devmon/devmon"

Immediately afterward, "ps -ef | grep devmon" shows devmon running but
then the process is no longer in the process table after a 3-5 seconds.
My BBDISPLAY server isn't being updated, and there are ~no~ entires at
all the devmon log file. Nether does the system messages file give any
clues.=20

Hoping someone can shed some light on this issue? What could be the
cause o this problem? Possible solutions?
