I can't scp the entire host list, nor would I need to - it isn't going to change and the hosts are not identical.<br><br>Let me tell you how the overall picture looks. We have a main Hobbit server that monitors our backbone, customers' home routers, WWW servers and things. Now we're adding a Hobbit at a hotel's LAN. The first step was to get Hobbit running there on its own little world and ping the access points. Now the next step, where I'm stuck, is to duplicate the information that is sent from bbtest to the bbdisplay on our company Hobbit.
<br><br>The hotel's list of hosts is limited - their APs and a couple of their guest/lobby PCs. Ours needs to have the things it has currently, but another page that includes the hotel's hosts.<br><br>Sorry, I know I'm terrible at explaining my own situations =(

I've configured it that way and neither of the www pages have any information
(concerning these hosts). I do know that 1984 is "connectable"
from the new Hobbit server (tested with nmap).<br>
<br>
Any other ideas out there? From what little I know about this it seems
like this Net option is just an extra step, it doesn't seem required - is this
true? What is the simplest way of getting the list of hosts on both
bbdisplays? <br>

is an aggregate of both test servers. This looks to be similar to what
you're doing, so I hope that helps put the rest of this info in context.</span></font></p>

hosts poller1 polls, and Net:poller2 with all the hosts poller2 polls.
This may not be useful in the setup you're trying to get working, but it can't
hurt to include. I think your original config is the one to go with, but
I might go with <a href="http://127.0.0.1" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">127.0.0.1</a> and no
spaces. I'm pretty sure the BBDISPLAYS just has bbtest-net send it to
everything in that list when it has a status message. Also note that port
1984 will have to be opened appropriately on any firewalls.</span></font></p>

<p><font face="Times New Roman" size="3"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> </span></font></p>
<p><font face="Times New Roman" size="3"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">What I am
trying to do is have two BBDisplay servers. The first one being our main
one - monitors our network equipment and things - and a second one that lives
on the customer's network and pings APs, Switches, etc.<br>
<br>
I have setup this in bb-hosts on the main one:<br>
<br clear="all">
page HIXX Holiday Inn X X<br>
group-compress <H3><I>Access Points</I></H3><br>
<a href="http://1.2.3.4" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">1.2.3.4</a> <a href="http://host.com" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">host.com</a> # noconn
<br>
<br>
group-compress <H3><I>HIDM Hardware</I></H3><br>
<a href="http://2.3.4.5" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">2.3.4.5</a> <a href="http://host2.com" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">host2.com</a> # noconn
<br>
<br>
Reason for the noconn is that these are all private IPs, accessible only by the
customer's LAN. These configuration match those of the customer's
bb-hosts (with the exception of noconn, of course =)<br>
<br>
I then went into the customer's server/etc/hobbitserver.cfg and changed it as
such:<br>
<br>
BBDISP="<a href="http://0.0.0.0" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)"> 0.0.0.0</a>"<br>
BBDISPLAYS=" <a href="http://10.59.1.119" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">10.59.1.119</a>,MAINSERVERPUBLIC"<br>
<br>
I have also tried it without quotes<br>
<br>
When I set this neither BBDisplay has anything on the www pages, they're
completely blank! Once I switch it to <br>
<br>
BBDISP="$BBSERVERIP"
# IP of a single hobbit/bbd server<br>
BBDISPLAYS=""<br>
<br>
It works perfectly fine on the customer's server, but the main one is display
blank (obviously =)<br>
<br>
Please let me know where I went wrong. Thanks in advance!<br>
