One of the fans, for example, was listed as cr (rather than ok) -- which was, apparently, causing all other fans to run at maximum speed (*very* noisy fans in poweredge 2900). I reset it (by pulling it out and back again), and now the box is quieting back down... The sensors-patches did not add any new entries under hw.sensors hierarchy :( The coretemp(4) stopped functioning, unfortunately... Whereas before, when I simply kldload-ed it, it was reporting reasonable temperatures, now that I have the sensors-patch merged in, I see nonsense like: hw.sensors.cpu0.temp0: -1282,97 degC hw.sensors.cpu1.temp0: -1272,97 degC hw.sensors.cpu2.temp0: -1282,97 degC hw.sensors.cpu3.temp0: -1262,97 degC Seems like some kind of calibration issue -- the numbers differ from each other and change with time... I think, I'll back the patch out as it did not give me any new information -- the it- and lm-devices aren't found on this box :-( Anyway, sdtemp(4) -- or equivalent -- is something, I'd like to have...

Re: Monitoring geom
I'm not sure what the 'best' way to monitor a geom is but this should, in theory, work. I wrote it while eating lunch, so obviously it hasn't been tested much and probably contains bugs. If someone, perhaps here on the list, could offer suggested changes (or a better way), that'd be great! Hopefully the indentation won't get screwed up too badly in transit. If so, ask and I can email it as a plain-text attachment. # Script below: #!/bin/sh # DESCRIPTION: # Heartbeat script to check the status of geoms. If a geom is degraded, # This script will email the administrator. # # USAGE: # Place this script in a directory which will be writable by the UID who will # be executing this script via cron.

From: Achilleas Mantzios [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi, i have had various crashes and segfaults in the last hot days (room temp about 30 deg C). I tried to monitor CPU temp with mbmon, which shows a very big value in COU temperature: I also opened the case in order to get ventilated with fresh air from the room. Actually, that doesn't work, your components will get hotter. This is because the case provides a through flow environment where air is forced to flow over most of the components most of the time. By opening the case you remove the force, and now have to rely on convection. What you want to do is make sure all the fans are running freely. Especially the processor fan. It may have stopped silently an dthat would definitely cause crashes. A fan at the front of the case blowing IN is more effective than one on the back blowing out, so if there isn't one on the front, add one. The 80 to 120mm ones can be very quiet and some can control their own speed if your motherboard cannot do it. If one can blow in the front and directly on the harddrives then that is a bonus, cool harddrives last longer. The basic idea of a case is to have air coming in the front and exiting at the rear. So make sure all your fans are blowing in the right direction. My office goes to 38C in summer, and all 5 computers just keep on going, using the principles above.

It works fine on my core2duo laptop. I don't know if it works with the earlier Intel CoreDuo (not core2duo) Assuming the heat is what is actually causing you the problems, your options are rather limited: Move to a bigger case with options for better ventilation (maybe 12cm fans in front / rear) or use fans with higher CFM ratings (that will also make it more noisy, one more factor to consider). I currently have a machine with a 25cm side fan. Completely noiseless, and always runs cool. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I tried to monitor CPU temp with mbmon, which shows a very big value in COU temperature: I also opened the case in order to get ventilated with fresh air from the room. Actually, that doesn't work, your components will get hotter. This is because the case provides a through flow environment where air is forced to flow over most of the components most of the time. By opening the case you remove the force, and now have to rely on convection. What you want to do is make sure all the fans are running freely. Especially the processor fan. It may have stopped silently an dthat would definitely cause crashes. A fan at the front of the case blowing IN is more effective than one on the back blowing out, so if there isn't one on the front, add one. The 80 to 120mm ones can be very quiet and some can control their own speed if your motherboard cannot do it. If one can blow in the front and directly on the harddrives then that is a bonus, cool harddrives last longer. The basic idea of a case is to have air coming in the front and exiting at the rear. So make sure all your fans are blowing in the right direction. My office goes to 38C in summer, and all 5 computers just keep on going, using the principles above. I fitted a fan to the UPS as well (-: My box has 3 fans, one on the case blowing from outside=inside, one in the power supply and one on the CPU. In the evening, i will have the case/board inside blown/cleaned with air, i am gonna close the case, and i am gonna tune BIOS to fail-safe settings. When blowing the dust out, be sure to put the nozzle up against the edges of the cooling vanes on any coolers, especially the one for the CPU(s). Often such vanes are very close together and trap dust easily that will not be blown out when just cleaning the case and the motherboard. My portable, a Dell Inpsiron XPS, was running in a reduced-speed mode with COU temperatures in the high 70s C to low 80s C, but was also doing frequent emergency shutdowns at 89.5 C. After replacing two of the three fans and blowing out visible dust, the temperatures were reduced by about 15-18 C. Replacing the third fan brought the temperatures down another 2-3 C. Blowing the dust out of the cooling vanes brought them down another 6-8 C. Apart from that, i would like to have a reliable tool to monitor temperature. Is there anything in mind?

On 10/20/06, Zbigniew Szalbot [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hello, Is there anything you would *recommend* re monitoring internet usage (LAN to WAN), something that is available in ports? This would have to be something that would allow me to tie it with a router as my FBSD is not a gateway. This function is handled by our Dlink DFL router. Many thanks in advance! -- Zbigniew Szalbot That really depends on the functionality of your router (and I'm not familiar with it, so can't comment on it), the configuration of your internal network and what you mean by 'monitoring internet usage'.. Do you only need to show aggregate traffic flow, to monitor total usage over time? If so, and if the router is SNMP-capable, then cacti (or mrtg, but it's not my preference) or some other some other utility that can get and graph SNMP stats will do what you want. If you wish to characterize the traffic to and from the Internet by protocol and/or user, then you'll have to do something more than simply using SNMP to monitor throughput on the router. In that case, you'll need to have your FreeBSD box actually parse the traffic, or get a netflow from the router (assuming that it can do that.) and ntop is a good start for the software you want, or perhaps etherape. Assuming that netflow isn't available from the router (and I think that's a fairly safe bet) the trick will be making sure that your FreeBSD box will see the traffic, and for that you'll need something like one of the following setups: 1) Put the router and your box on a dumb hub (not a switch) so that all of the traffic going to the router is visible to your box or 2) Have the router (again, assuming it's a multiport router, and capable of this, which is quite doubtful) mirror the traffic to a port to which your box is attached, or 3) Install two NICs in your box and have your router and your box attached to a switch that can mirror all of the traffic to the router - the first NIC will only receive traffic from the switch, the second NIC will have an IP address and be available for monitoring the box, including output from ntop or etherape. or 4) More tricky still, install two NICs in your box and have it act as a transparent bridge between your network and your router. I'm not familiar with this kind of setup, though I like the idea, and will be playing with it in my copious free time. :) or 5) Get a network tap cable, which is essentially a three-headed patch cable that provides receive-only wires for the third head, and that receive-only head is put into a second NIC on your box.

RE: Monitoring Server Health
So to clarify my initial request, what I am seeking recommendations for is the program that collects the information, such as server load, temperature, open tcp connections etc of the freebsd server itself. I already have the program to process the data, of which part of this solution is mrtg. net-snmp will do this for you over a network, if that's what you are after. There are additional MIBs to cover most/all of the things you list, and it's not too hard to extend with any custom monitoring you need (I've extended mine to monitor some qmail-specific variables, for instance). It's in ports as net-mgmt/net-snmp. Great stuff. Thank you for this. I've installed and played around with this and it seems that snmpd will do what I want at this stage. There's quite a bit of overlap between some data-processing apps and the data-collection part though. For instance, Cacti is a MRTG-alike with a nice web UI, but it also has some of the data collection scripts you might need, similarly with Remstats, if it is still developed. Either way, it'd be an unusual data-collection/data-processing admin tool that didn't understand SNMP. Well, these programs are data collection/processing orientated, as opposed to providing the raw data which is what I was looking for. This raw data will be used my by Nagios and mrtg etc to make alerts and graphs Many thanks!

Re: Monitoring Server Health
I use bigsister, which is in the ports. Bigsister trys to use snmp and to be non-invasive. However, any monitoring comes with some overhead. On the good side bigsister is cross-platform and can be used on Windows servers as well as FreeBSD (and other 'NIXs too.)Bigsister can be configured on a server by server basis for what you want to monitor, to limit any overheard you can. You can also configure bigsister to store the data in a database such as mysql for more detailed analysis.

Here's something I wrote recently on setting up Nagios on FreeBSD:
http://www.wonkity.com/~wblock/nagios.pdf
Nagios is a good choice indeed, i've recently implemented a monitoring
system for our rack at redbus using Nagios and i'm rather impressed with
how well it all works!
I've picked up a couple of tricks while doing this, the first one is
simply to make very good use of service templates, most of the services
we monitor in our rack are websites (using check_http) so that becomes a
somewhat repeating entry in the config, to minimize this i have a
template defined for website checks containing all of the static values
which looks an awful lot like this
define service{
use generic-service
namewebsite-service
is_volatile 0
check_period24x7
max_check_attempts 5
normal_check_interval 1
retry_check_interval1
contact_groups admins
notification_interval 240
notification_period 24x7
notification_optionsw,u,c,r
register0
}
since the check command will be different for each site since the site
address to query is included that gets specified in the site description
resulting in an entry that looks a lot like this
define service{
use website-service
host_name ServerName
service_description ServiceName (I use sitename)
check_command check_site!http://SiteName
}
which greatly reduces the size of my config files and makes them a whole
lot easier to maintain!
The other trick i've picked up is split all my host definitions into
individual files for each host then add an entry for them in the main
Nagios config (much as i do with vhosts in apache), again this makes it
far easier to maintain and has the bonus that removing a host is simply
a matter of commenting out/deleting a line in the master config file.
Last two things, firstly, nagios -v is your friend, it will give you
concise and quite useful information on any errors in your config files
and saves you loosing the system because of a typo, secondly, for
remote checks nrpe is a godsend, it can be used to allow Nagios to check
pretty much any local information on a remote machine and is quite easy
to configure, for example I have it monitoring the capacity of the /usr
mount our Solars machine (along with a few other bits).
Hope that's helpful to someone :)

I don't know what OS they were referring to, however. Does this sound right for FreeBSD? Are there better ways of monitoring load average? If the load average is greater than the # of CPU's, your machine is CPU-bound and tasks are waiting to get processor time. If that's because the machine is a busy server, one ought to add more resources or rebalance the load. If this happens because you're running a screensaver or setiathome, you probably don't care. :-) I use a warning system which notifies me (via email) if the 5-minute load average on one of my servers goes too high, which I've set at 2.5 for single-proc machines, 4.5 for dual-procs, and 7 for the single quad-proc box I've got.

You can also check out ipa. This does exactly what you want using firewall rules.

As I was trying different utilities and wasn't seeing anything on my outside card I then decided to disconnect my gateway machine. The high traffic continued. I called my ISP and they told me to run tcpdump and send it to them. A few minutes later the activity was way down. Looks normal now. I still plan to go through all the tools and learn them, but whatever the problem is/was it was not inside my machines/network. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I am sure there is a way to do this, but I don't know where to look. What I want to do is allow users to sftp a file into their home directory, then once the file is written, I want a server side process to email or otherwise transfer the file to another location so that it can be processed with some third party tools by a Windows user. Can anyone help me out? I think the l0pht-watch port can do this. Kris pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature
