[hobbit] BBWin load question (RESOLVED but is this a bug)

[McGraw, Robert P]

I have finally resolved this problem. In my hobbit-client.cfg file I had a
DEFAULT entry which had a LOAD entry. The default entry was at the beginning
of the file and all my hosts below. 

It seems that bbwin.c was getting the LOAD values of the DEFAULT and not the
LOAD value for the host. Since the call to get the LOAD values is a standard
hobbit subroutine call I assume that this is not a bbwin.c problem but a
hobbit problem. Once I commented out the entries in the DEFAULT things
started working fine. 

So either there is a bug in how hobbit scans hobbit-client.cfg or the
DEFAULT is not working as I would have thought. 

QUESTIONS: How does hobbit scan the hobbit-client.cfg file and how does it
handle entries in the DEFAULT group. 


To resolve I went to bbwin.c and added the following lines so that I could
print the load, loadyellow and loadread values to see the values they were
being used.

sprintf(msgline, "load: %f, loadyellow: %f, loadred: %f\n", load1,
loadyellow, loadred);
addtobuffer(cpumsg, msgline);


I find having the load, loadyellow and loadred values printed on the web
page is kind of nice since these values can change with different hosts it
is nice to see the values that is causing the alarm.
