[hobbit] Client Data not showing up

[Snyder, Howard]

Ok, so I'm kind of dumb.  I am now getting data from the clients, show in the histlogs.  The problem now is that I don't know why it's not changing the white icons with green ones based on the settings in hobbit-clients.cfg.  This is probably something easy but, I can't seem to figure it out.  If I have read the man pages right (along with a few hundred archived emails) the hobbit-client.cfg reads from top to bottom.  So if you have the following in the file in this order:

HOST=SGLNHHOBBIT
file /var/adm/messages SIZE>0 MTIME>86400 TRACK yellow
##file /var/log/hobbit/page.log SIZE>0 MTIME<7200 TRACK yellow
file /var/log/hobbit/hobbitd.log SIZE>0 MTIME<7200 TRACK yellow
file /var/log/hobbit/hobbitlaunch.log SIZE>0 MTIME<7200 TRACK yellow
file /var/log/hobbit/hobbitd.pid SIZE>0 SIZE>0 MTIME<7200 TRACK yellow
file /var/log/hobbit/rrd-status.log SIZE>0 MTIME<7200 TRACK yellow
file /var/log/hobbit/bb-network.log SIZE>0 MTIME<7200 TRACK yellow
file /var/log/hobbit/bb-display.log SIZE>0 MTIME<7200 TRACK yellow
file /var/log/hobbit/rrd-data.log SIZE>0 MTIME<7200 TRACK yellow
file /var/log/syslog SIZE>0 MTIME<7200 TRACK yellow

DEFAULT
        # These are the built-in defaults.
        UP      1h
        LOAD    5.0 10.0
        DISK    * 90 95
        MEMPHYS 100 101
        MEMSWAP 50 80
        MEMACT  90 97
        PROC    httpd 3 40
        PROC    /usr/lib/inet/inetd start
        PROC    /usr/lib/ssh/sshd 1 99
        PROC    /usr/lib/hobbit/server/bin/hobbitlaunch
#
        PORT "LOCAL=%([.:]22)$" state=ESTABLISHED min=0 max=99 color=yellow TRACK=ssh "TEXT=SSH logins"
        PORT "LOCAL=%([.:]80)$" state=ESTABLISHED min=0 max=99 color=yellow TRACK=http "TEXT=HTTP"

It should apply the setting for the 1st listed host and then apply the "DEFAULT" settings right?

There should be a delay (about 30 seconds, if memory serves me right)
before the connection is closed - that is how long Hobbit will wait for
data to be sent from the client.

The "bb" utility from the Hobbit client really is the best way to do the
connection test - run
   bb IP-OF-HOBBIT-SERVER ping
and it should respond with the version number of your Hobbit server. Add
a --debug option just after the "bb" command for some more detail.

If you can connect, but the bb-ping test fails, then there are a couple
of possibilities:

1) The IP-address you're using is wrong
2) There's a firewall or proxy which blocks port 1984
3) The Hobbit daemon restricts what IP-adresses it will talk to
   (the --status-senders option to hobbitd in hobbitlaunch.cfg)

Probably something else I just cannot think of right now ...

Henrik
