A script to monitor the amount of free swap space.

Client side

- Install bb-swap.sh into the $HOBBITCLIENTHOME/ext/ directory - Modify/install bb-swap.cfg into $HOBBITCLIENTHOME/etc directory

# Configuration file for bb-swap.sh external script
#
# Change History:
#
#       1.5-CP  07/27/2000      First release
#
# Edit variables below for your needs
#
# Set thresholds for free swap space remaining
#
SWAPWARN="25"       # GO YELLOW AT THIS LEVEL
SWAPPANIC="15"      # GO RED AND PAGE AT THIS LEVEL

- Modify your clientlaunch.cfg, adding:

[bbswap]
        ENVFILE $HOBBITCLIENTHOME/etc/hobbitclient.cfg
        CMD $HOBBITCLIENTHOME/ext/bb-swap.sh
        LOGFILE $HOBBITCLIENTHOME/logs/bb-swap.log
        INTERVAL 5m

Server side

- For NCV Graphs:

  1. hobbitgraph.cfg, add:
    [bbswap]
            TITLE Swap Utilization
            YAXIS % Free
            DEF:free=bbswap.rrd:PercentFree:AVERAGE
            LINE2:free#0000FF:% Swap free
            -u 100
            -b 1024
            GPRINT:free:LAST: \: %5.1lf (cur)
            GPRINT:free:MAX: \: %5.1lf (max)
            GPRINT:free:MIN: \: %5.1lf (min)
            GPRINT:free:AVERAGE: \: %5.1lf (avg)\n
    
  1. hobbitserver.cfg, you'll be modifying TEST2RRD and adding a variable named NCV_bbswap:
    TEST2RRD="[...],bbswap=ncv"
    NCV_bbswap="PercentFree:GAUGE,*:NONE"
  1. (optional)add the following to add the bbswap info to the trends coloumn:
    TRENDS:*,[...],bbswap
