[hobbit] Client data not appearing on hobbit server

Do your clients send their data with the correct (fully qualified?) 
hostname, as they are listed in the server's bb-hosts file?
If your bb-hosts has a client node defined, for example:

client.my.domain.com 123.456.78.9

but the hostname command on your client only reports "client" as the 
hostname without the domain, the hobbit server will not display the 
data. You have to change the client's hostname an include the domain or 
you have to start the hobbit client with the option

--hostname=client.my.domain.com

Hope this helps,
