RE: [hobbit] hobbit-clients.cfg

["Manocchia, Robert" <Robert-Manocchia (at) IDEXX.com>]

I confirmed that there were no hosts listed in the Ghost clients report. I
also checked twice that the client was running and I was able to telnet to
<Hobbitserver> 1984.

  Is there anything else I can check.

Sounds like you haven't got the Hobbit client running on that server, 
or at least - it isn't reporting into Hobbit with the right hostname.

Check the "Reports->Ghost clients" report and see if your host is listed
there - it will be, if the client uses a different hostname than what
you have in bb-hosts. In that case, put a CLIENT:clientname entry in
bb-hosts so Hobbit knows how to connect the two names.

If it's not in the Ghost client list, then you must check if the client
is running at all, and if it can connect to the Hobbit server to send
data (from the client, run "telnet HOBBITHOST 1984" and see if it will
connect).

BTW, there won't be an UP or LOAD column - these data are presented as
part of the "cpu" status.

And there's no need to restart anything when changing this
configuration.
