you were right, hobbitd was yellow because I had restarted it. It's
green now, but ports is still purple.

Looking at "client data" link, there is no section beginning with "[ports]"
I stopped the hobbit server, no hobbit processes running, then emptied
hobbitclient.log, and restarted hobbit (so I can get a fresh view of
hobbitclient.log)
and waited ~15 minutes, and saw nothing show up in hobbitclient.log.
Just so it's noted, /var/log/hobbit/hobbitclient.log is owned and
writeable by hobbit, and other log files are being updated.

I also noticed that in /usr/local/hobbit/data/rrd/<server> there is no
ports.rrd file
hobbitd_client is running.

help! :-) I'll try rebooting the server. Nope, that didn't fix it....
