Analytiks App

The developers of @analytiksapp just tweeted that they have submitted Analytiks v1.5 to the App Store, so I guess it’s a matter of a day or two until it’s available on our iPhones. I just can’t wait for the new release! Bellow is a preview of one of the new features; an infographic generator based on your Google Analytics stats. If you still haven’t got the Analytiks on your iPhone, go grab it from the App Store now. Some of the best well spent $0,99

PS: I’m in no way affiliated with Analytiks, just a happy user.

root@myserver [~]# munin-run mysql_connections
DBD::mysql::st execute failed: Unknown table engine 'INNODB' at /etc/munin/plugins/mysql_connections line 958.

This is caused because the error message is changing between versions and the mysql_ plugin for munin hasn’t been updated in order to recognize it.
The fix is pretty simple, just open /usr/share/munin/plugins/mysql_ with vim on line 958 (hint: vim +958 filename) and replace as bellow.

Original code

    if ($@) {
 	        if ($@ =~ /Cannot call SHOW INNODB STATUS because skip-innodb is defined/) {
 	            $data->{_innodb_disabled} = 1;
 	            return;
 	        }
 	        die $@;

Fixed code

    if ($@) {
 	        if ($@ =~ /Unknown table engine 'INNODB'|Unknown storage engine 'innodb'|Cannot call SHOW INNODB STATUS because skip-innodb is defined/i) {
 	            $data->{_innodb_disabled} = 1;
 	            return;
 	        }
 	        die $@;

Save the file and you’re good to go

Install Munin via WHM

cPanel -> Manage Plugins -> Check “Install and keep updated” -> Save

Configure named

Login to you server via SSH, open /etc/named.conf and add the highlighted code.

logging {
/*	If you want to enable debugging, eg. using the 'rndc trace' command,
 *	named will try to write the 'named.run' file in the $directory (/var/named").
 *	By default, SELinux policy does not allow named to modify the /var/named" directory,
 *	so put the default debug log file in data/ :
 */
    channel default_debug {
            file "data/named.run";
            severity dynamic;
    };
    channel b_query {
            file "/var/log/bind9/query.log" versions 2 size 1m;
            print-time yes;
            severity info;
    };
    category queries { b_query; };
};

Save the changes, and restart named

[root@dns1 ~]#/etc/init.d/named restart
Stopping named:                                            [  OK  ]
Starting named:                                            [  OK  ]

Configure the bind9 plugins

First you’ll have to create the symlinks to the two bind9 plugins:

ln -s /usr/share/munin/plugins/bind9 /etc/munin/plugins/bind9
ln -s /usr/share/munin/plugins/bind9_rndc /etc/munin/plugins/bind9_rndc

Now open the file /etc/munin/plugin-conf.d/cpanel.conf and add the following code to the end of the file.

[bind9]
user root
env.logfile   /var/log/bind9/query.log

[bind9_rndc]
user root
env.querystats /var/named/data/named_stats.txt

Wrapping things up

Finally restart munin-node, run rndc stats and try munin-run bind9 & munin-run bind9_rndc to see if you get proper output like this:

[root@dns1 ~]#/etc/init.d/munin-node restart
Stopping Munin Node agents:                                [  OK  ]
Starting Munin Node:                                       [  OK  ]
[root@dns1 ~]#rndc stats
[root@dns1 ~]#munin-run bind9
query_A.value 55
query_AAAA.value 30
query_ANY.value 1
query_other.value 0
[root@dns1 ~]#munin-run bind9_rndc
query_recursion.value 0
query_success.value 49
query_failure.value 0
query_nxrrset.value 23
query_referral.value 0
query_nxdomain.value 0

What you’ll get

After leaving it run for at least 30 minutes you’ll see something like this

(Optional) Errors you might encounter

If you receive the following error

[root@dns1 ~]# munin-run bind9
Died at /etc/munin/plugins/bind9 line 74.

you need to create the bind9.state file like this:

touch /var/lib/munin/plugin-state/bind9.state
chown munin:munin /var/lib/munin/plugin-state/bind9.state
chmod g+rw /var/lib/munin/plugin-state/bind9.state

and try running munin-run bind9 again.

iOS 5.0.1 definitely fixes the battery issue!

In a previous post I mentioned that after installing the GM (i.e. final) version of iOS 5, I’ve seen my battery life percentage drop below 20% in a matter of a few hours. Now after upgrading to beta 1 on Thursday and beta 2 yesterday, and I can confirm that the battery issue is now fixed
My iPhone 4 now easily goes over 24+ hours after a full charge with everything enabled! (3G, WiFi, Location services etc.)

Wicked!!

Play video. Watch till 1:18. Say WOW!

Here’s how it’s done:

1. Open Safari and click on Safari in the upper left hand corner.
2. Click Reset Safari.

3. Restart Safari. This will resolve most problems. If this does not solve the problem, proceed on to Step 4.

4. Open up a terminal window and enter

chflags nohidden ~/Library/

to make the user Library directory visible.
5. Click on the hard drive icon located on the desktop.
6. Go to Users > [username] > Library > Safari folder.
7. Delete all files except “Bookmarks.plist”.
8. Then go to Users > [username] > Library > Preferences.
9. Find com.apple.Safari.plist, com.apple.internetconfigpriv.plist, and com.apple.internetconfig.plist and delete them (ignore any file you can’t find).
10. Safari should now be fully reset to factory defaults.

One of the most amazing timelapse video I’ve ever seen! Watch in HD full screen with sound (preferably headphones).
