[hobbit] windows monitor using hobbit help-newbie

[Klomp, H.]

Have you checked the Ghost clients ?
very often a Windows server uses a different name that what you expect, capital letters in stead of lowercase of don't use the full qualified host name.

Thank you very much for your help and response

    I installed hobbit client (bbwin) on windows server and put entry in bb-hosts file.

   IPADDRESS    COMPUTERNAME

  But I can monitor and see only conn, info, and trends (tcp conn test for last 48 hrs).

  I need to monitor other services such as cpu, disk, memory..etc...  do I have to modify or add something on client side or server side to get this working.

Please help me to get this working.

Thanks
    Santhosh.p

HI,
    I am looking at hobbit installation to get windows server reporting.I found bbwin is windows client. can any one please answer my following doubts

1)      Can UNIX server be hobbit server for windows clients? or we have to have one windows server as hobbit server and other windows server as hobbit clients.

Yes, Hobbit designed to monitor all types of system.  Hobbit is like the collection device that stores data, it doesn't care where it gets is.

2)      if UNIX server can be hobbit server for windows where we have to specify UNIX server(hobbit server) name in the hobbit client(windows) configuration file

Computer name under you're my Computer properties, typically just the netbios name.

3)      how to start windows client

It install as a service, you don't have too worry about it not starting unless you leave it disable.

4)      if UNIX server cannot be hobbit server for windows. Where can I get windows hobbit server setup?


Can anyone please help me to get windows sever reporting

Thanks
