Delay before seeing a new host in the Hobbit map

[Frédéric Mangeant]

Hi again - with a "real" problem this time ;-)

when adding a new host in Hobbit, it takes sometimes a few minutes for 
this host's tests to appear on the map (only the host itself appears on 
the map).
I even run bbtest-net on it, but no files appear in 
~hobbit/data/histlogs/<name of host>

$ echo "10.20.30.40   testhost" >> ~hobbit/server/etc/bb-hosts

$ ~hobbit/server/bin/bbcmd bbtest-net --debug testhost

$ ls ~hobbit/data/histlogs/testhost
ls: ~/hobbit/data/histlogs/testhost: No such file or directory

The hobbitd column shows this :

Ghost reports:
  10.20.30.40     reported host testhost


If I restart Hobbit, the host's test appear on the map and files can be 
found in ~hobbit/data/histlogs/<name of host>
It looks like this "delay" is equal to hobbitd's checkpoint interval 
(600 seconds by default)...

Do you have a clue ?

Thanks again.

Regards,
