[hobbit] New to Hobbit --- file monitoring

[Hubbard, Greg L]

~/hobbit/client/* is where the client stuff lives.  The server runs a
local client.  On remote systems, you usually clone the
~/hobbit/client/* part to other machines (assuming the same
architecture).  As you get more into it, you will figure out how to make
client distributions.
 
If you are seeing anything reported for CPU, memory, disk, etc. on your
server, then the client is running.  You don't have to do anything to
enable it.

	This may be where I'm getting confused.  On the machine where
hobbit is reporting data, (i.e. the machinename I use for the url) does
the client need to be running?  Where are the config files for the
client typically stored?  I've been editing files /etc/hobbit But I
wonder if those are just the server files, and not the client files
(assuming the client needs to be running as well on the machine that is
the server.

		I tried to set up file monitoring today and after 1hr, I
fixed it by
		restarting the hobbit server.  Not reloading,
restarting.  So, restart your
		hobbit server after you changed the config files and the
change is not 
		detected.
		
		You can also take a look in the tmp directory of the
client. There should be a
		logfetch file if the client picks up the new
configuration.  There should be
		2 files, one with the settings on the hobbit server and
one with the status 
		(this is a file used by the hobbit client to track the
logfile).
