Re: {bb} Complex BB configuration using BBRELAY

bbrelay not working as expected

Your configuration looks ok, we need to do some debug to narrow down the search.

Which version and os are you using? Current versions of BB require both the server and client to be installed on the display server but eariler BB's were bundled into the same source package.

1) What is displayed on the "master" bb server?

2) Can you view the entries on "bb-server-a"? (i.e. apache installed, bb server correctly setup and a network path?) If yes, view it and see what things look like.


You can stop doing these tests when you have enough information to fix the problem.

3) Did you open the firewall on (probably) port 1984?



4) Review the BBOUT logs on all the clients and the servers. for the servers, review both the logs for client and server.

5) On the both the servers, check the log files in ../bbvar/logs. you should have files with names something like hostname.test. If the files with serveral tests for each client, you're nearly there. (this is another way of doing step 1) and 2) but doesn't require a functioning web server)


6) confirm network activity from the "clients" to their respective bbdisplay server.
From 10.10.1.1
telent 10.10.1.254 1984

Because of a belief that security is improved, BB intentionally does not respond to messages sent to the server. The normal (working) response to the telnet command is an apparent "hang" with no response for a period of time with know response. Failures may appear as an immediate failure to connect, complete wit an error message or a timeout. If this description doesn't make sense, than do some tests on the display servers before testing on the client. Like this.

on 10.10.1.254, do a test that will fail.

telnet 127.0.0.1 1985 (you almost certainly are not using port 1985) You should get a failure to connect something like
#telnet 127.0.0.1 1985
Connecting To 127.0.0.1...Could not open connection to the host, on port 1985: Connect failed

Now try to 1984 to confirm the server is running and accepting messages.

if you still need help after doing these steps, post the results and we'll see where to go from there.

Hello everyone,
I am trying to run a "complex" BB configuration with no success:

I have Main BB machine that collect all BB events and runs the HTTPD and BBDISPLAY.
This host is behind FW and has legal IP address.
This host is used to monitor all BBNET hosts that have external Internet access (like web servers or e-mail servers).

Now, I have 3 completely separate sites, each one is on different segment (for now but another site on the same segment may be added) with internal, not legal IP addresses. On each site I have local BB server that has no web server on it.
The local server is configured to get all data from monitor elements (hosts) in his local site.
Each local BB server should send all data to the MASTER BB server. The connection to the MASTER is done using NAT so the MASER sees only the NAT IP address and not the "real" IP address.

The problem is that it doesn't work. I don't see any messages sending from the BB local servers to the MASTER (using 'tcpdump port 1984').
I have tried all kind of configuration found on the mailing list but still haven't found the configuration that will work.
Please, if you have, send me a sample configuration files for Master/Slave/Client.
Here are samples from my bb-hosts config files:

MASTER:
group-compress  <H3><I>BB Display Server</I></H3>
62.62.62.62        MASTER # BBPAGER BBNET BBDISPLAY

page SITE ONE A (this should comes from the BB server A)
group-compress  Local Site A
10.10.1.254 BB-SERVER-A # noconn
10.10.1.1 db # noconn
10.10.1.2 app # noconn

page SITE TWO B (this should comes from the BB server B)
group-compress  Local Site B
10.20.1.254 BB-SERVER-B # noconn
10.20.2.1 db # noconn
10.20.2.2 app # noconn

ON BB Server A

10.10.2.254 BB-SERVER-A  # BBNET BBDISPLAY BBRELAY:62.62.62.62
10.20.1.1 db #
10.10.1.2 #

10.20.1.254 BB-SERVER-B # noconn
ON B Client (say db)

10.10.2.254 BB-SERVER-A  # BBNET BBDISPLAY
10.20.1.1 db #
10.10.1.2 #

On BB server B I have the same as BB server A (with the necessary changes)


What I do wrong?

Many thanks,
Alon
