<div dir="ltr">Hello,<div>I'm not sure which version of Ubuntu you are using but up to Ubuntu 13.10 (Saucy) only hobbit-client 4.2.0 is available in ubuntu repositories. This has been replaced by xymon-client 4.3.7 in Ubuntu 14.04.</div>
<div>As for the later upgrades - the xymon package should recognize that hobbit was installed on the server before and migrate the settings, but I'm not sure whether it migrates any custom extension scripts (in case that you use any).</div>
<div>Also the IP address of hobbit/xymon server can be configured in /etc/default/hobbit-client (/etc/default/xymon-client respectively) instead of changing BBDISP variable in hobbitclient.cfg.</div><div><br></div><div>Regards,</div>

Thanks Paul -- I added BBDISP="ip address" to the hobbitclient.cfg and that did the trick.<br>
<br>
I'm using an old client because it is what is available from the default repository when I do a 'apt-get install blah'.<br>
<br>
My superiors wants to keep it this way for future updates to work flawlessly.<br>
<br>
I'm assuming if it is in the unbuntu default repository it was QAed and tested -- correct me if I am wrong.<br>

So why are you using such<br>
an old client on a new install?<br>
<br>
Did you edit the<br>
~hobbit/client/etc/hobbitclient.cfg file and put the IP<br>
address of your server in the BBDISP field?<br>
<br>
The errors are telling us that<br>
the client can't talk to the hobbit server.<br>
<br>
Seriously consider upgrading<br>
to xymon 4.3 something.<br>

server<br>
<br>
Greetings,<br>
<br>
I have this one linux client<br>
that is not reporting 'disk', 'cpu',<br>
'ssh' and the custom external script raid-monitor to<br>
the hobbit server.<br>
<br>
What is<br>
reporting is 'conn', 'info', and<br>
'trends'.<br>
<br>
I<br>
installed the client with 'apt-get install<br>
hobbit-client' on a ubuntu server.<br>
<br>
On the hobbitclient.log, it indicates:<br>
2014-08-12 09:16:27 Cannot determine IP address<br>
of message recipient 10.218.275.25<br>

<br>
On the clientlaunch.log, it indicates,<br>

2014-08-12 08:51:18 Loading tasklist<br>
configuration from /etc/hobbit/clientlaunch.cfg<br>
2014-08-12 08:51:18 Task raid-monitor<br>
terminated, status 2<br>
<br>
On the<br>
hobbit server in the /etc/hobbit/bb-hosts, it indicates:<br>
xxx..xxx.xxx.xxx server01 #raid<br>
<br>
Will somebody lead me in the<br>
right direction, thanks in advance.<br>
