Introduction and request for sponsor
by Larry Brower 17 Nov '10

17 Nov '10

Hi all, My name is Larry Brower and I would like to help out with the Fedora Infrastructure team. I have been using Linux since Red Hat 5.2 and have been working with Linux as a system administrator full time since 2004. I am currently employed as a level 2 system administrator for Hostgator.Com, a large web hosting provider so I work with most of the technology in use on the Fedora servers almost daily and have work with everyone from small sites to large payment processors and ad networks over the past 6 years. I currently do not spend much time on IRC but am always available via emailand phone and should be on IRC more often in the near future. I am also a Fedora ambassador so can be found in the FAS already. I have no issues with asking questions for things I am unfamiliar with since I am fully aware that every organization does things differently. I am interested in helping out with the sysadmin-noc, sysadmin-hosted and/or sysadmin-releng FIG's but am willing to help where needed. Thanks for your time, Larry Connected by MOTOBLUR™ on T-Mobile

What is filling up app http logs?
by Stephen John Smoogen 15 Nov '10

15 Nov '10

Well the most numerous log is nagios asking for 11731659 GET /voting/ HTTP/1.0 which gets put in both the access log and error log somehow. This is coming primarily from nagios from noc2 and publictest7. It would seem we test 3 times a second per app server. On bapp01 we see in a typical hour the following number of requests per IP address 1447 10.5.126.51 1389 192.168.1.7 1376 192.168.1.63 1346 192.168.1.14 1289 192.168.1.52 1286 192.168.1.25 1280 192.168.1.12 This is a lot more than the other app servers get per hour bapp01.phx2.fedoraproject.org 9413 app01.phx2.fedoraproject.org 2369 app04.phx2.fedoraproject.org 2366 app02.phx2.fedoraproject.org 2399 app03.phx2.fedoraproject.org 2372 app6.fedoraproject.org 1381 app5.fedoraproject.org 1429 so there must be a weighting issue going on somewhere. I think the problem is in haproxy with the following: listen voting 0.0.0.0:10007 balance hdr(appserver) server app1 app1:80 check inter 10s rise 2 fall 4 server app2 app2:80 check inter 10s rise 2 fall 4 server app3 app3:80 check inter 10s rise 2 fall 4 server app4 app4:80 check inter 10s rise 2 fall 4 server app5 app5:80 backup check inter 15s rise 2 fall 4 server app6 app6:80 backup check inter 15s rise 2 fall 4 server app7 app7:80 check inter 15s rise 2 fall 4 server bapp1 bapp1:80 backup check inter 2s rise 2 fall 4 option httpchk GET /voting/ If I am reading the context right, the check is every 2 seconds on bapp1 versus 10 to 15 for the others. -- Stephen J Smoogen.

RFC: Backup upgrade
by Stephen John Smoogen 12 Nov '10

12 Nov '10

Currently we are using Bacula 2.4.4 for our backups. With the upcoming upgrades to RHEL-6 the main backup software will be bacula-5.0.0. I have 'gleaned' that the upgrade from 2.x to 5.x is not simple which means we are going to need to do a project on how this will be done. I am looking for people who have done project management in the past to help out on this.. mainly it would be to help step through people who may not have large scale project experience on what things usually need to be done: scoping, staffing, dropback points, documentation, etc. -- Stephen J Smoogen. “The core skill of innovators is error recovery, not failure avoidance.” Randy Nelson, President of Pixar University.

Introduction
by O. Atwin Calchand 10 Nov '10

10 Nov '10

Greetings All, I am Atwin Calchand and I have just completed a four year degree in Telecommunications Engineering. I have been using Fedora since 4 years now. I would like to join Infrastructure to help in whatever way I can and to broaden my skills. I am an avid user of Fedora and FreeBSD (I have set up web, DNS, samba, NAS, asterisk, VPN servers amongst others). For my final year project, I built a remote network monitoring system using only open-source software running on WRAP boxes with the server running FreeBSD. I know Infrastructure uses Nagios for monitoring from what I have read - I have myself experimented with it and my final year project actually made use of Zabbix due to dynamic IP issues. I have also completed the CCNA course and part of the CCNP syllabus (routing and switching (BSCI and BCMSN)). I would be very grateful if you could point me to the right place where I could be useful. I am quite interested in configuring stuff or maybe start with monitoring until I get the gist of how open-source collaboration works. Kind regards, Atwin
