[hobbit] override value of hobbit-clients.cfg

[Nicolas]

HI,

Thanks for answear.

Indeed, it doesn't seem to work correctly with this hobbit version:

HOST=*
 PROC    %(/usr/sbin/cron|crond).* 1 5 EXHOST=mrtg-wat,test-host
 PROC    %(/usr/sbin/cron|crond).* 1 30 HOST=mrtg-wat
 PROC    %(/usr/sbin/cron|crond).* 1 6 HOST=test-host

The results for test-host on PROC was:

&unknown %(/usr/sbin/cron|crond).* (found 6, req. between 1 and 5)
green %(/usr/sbin/cron|crond).* (found 6, req. between 1 and 30)
green %(/usr/sbin/cron|crond).* (found 6, req. between 1 and 6)

Other servers which are'nt in EXHOST have this behaviour:

green %(/usr/sbin/cron|crond).* (found 1, req. between 1 and 5)
green %(/usr/sbin/cron|crond).* (found 1, req. between 1 and 30)
green %(/usr/sbin/cron|crond).* (found 1, req. between 1 and 6)

As you suggested, i changed conf like this (list the hosts explicitly) :

HOST=*
        PROC    %(/usr/sbin/cron|crond).* 1 5 EXHOST=mrtg-wat,gie-s2if-front2

HOST=test-host
        PROC    %(/usr/sbin/cron|crond).* 1 6

HOST=mrtg-wat
        PROC    %(/usr/sbin/cron|crond).* 1 30


it seems to work but there is a strange behaviour for the global rule and
EXHOST:

test-host PROC show this:

&unknown %(/usr/sbin/cron|crond).* (found 6, req. between 1 and 5)
green %(/usr/sbin/cron|crond).* (found 6, req. between 1 and 6)

Others hosts are OK (only the global PROC).

Do you know what the "unknown" state means ? is it obstructing ?

Thanks
Nicolas
