I've got some servers out in the DMZ that can't talk directly to the
corporate network. I can get out to them via socks/ssh. I do not
want to run another listening service (msgcache) out there in the
DMZ. Is there a way to configure the client to collect messages to a
file (without msgcache listening), and then go retrieve/process those
file(s) via ssh from the Hobbit server and process normally?
What I'm doing now is not installing the client in the DMZ, and
instead using a custom Hobbit server script that socks/ssh'es out to
the DMZ and runs it's own data collection commands. The data
collected is similar to what the client would normally do, but it's
all done via custom script without any help from the Hobbit client.
I guess what I'm looking for is a hobbitfetch variant that uses
ssh/scp rather than connecting to a msgcache listener. And along with
that, a way to configure the client to collect data normally, but
skip starting a listening service.
I can't remember where I saw it but I thought this functionality was
already part of hobbit...
