Glad it worked for you too! If you have a list of your final set of RPM’s I’d love to see it.

Thanks,

I was faced with precisely the same problem, and no amount of fiddling with v4 libraries and LD_LIBRARY_PATH overcame it. I didn’t want to maintain a separate (possibly virtual) machine just for Insight II, so I gave your approach a spin. It worked like a charm.

FWIW, I was able to reduce the size of the image to 256MB by

1) Not installing RPM, Yum, or any of their otherwise-unneeded dependencies (e.g. Python) in the chroot environment. To do this, I performed all installs externally, using rpm –root.

2) Not installing certain RPM dependencies (rpm –justdb and/or –nodeps) that are needed only for a real, bootable machine (e.g. kernel, initscripts).

In the end, I found I needed only 49 packages.

Cheers!

Thanks, I’ve updated the post.

Thank you very much for the script.
Just for notice i tried to copy and work with the first empty script and it did not work.
the error was Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string at ext/bb-modules.pl line
after assigning value to $DATA it worked okay meaning line 26 should be like this my $DATA=”";

thanks any how

The purpose of the exercise was to demonstrate how to build a test in hobbit/xymon. I picked `lsmod` because I wanted a simple command to use as an example of how to parse and deliver data to hobbit/xymon. The example test was not meant to be useful or really used beyond being an example.

My 2 cents,

Juergen

thanks very much

I have installed Xymon and also the integraion with Devmon is done. Do you have any scripts which can help me to do the RMON monitoring via Hobbit or Devmon. Kindly share your views so that I can implement it properly. My email id is amanlamba83@gmail.com. Please share with me all the scripts and information related to hobbit/devmon.

Thanks & Regards,
Aman Lamba.
