[hobbit] Configuration question

Yes, I get a slew of this sort of thing:

2008-07-10 12:38:49 init_state(svr1,cit,cornell,edu.trends, 19, ...)

2008-07-10 12:38:49 find_or_create_column(trends)

2008-07-10 12:38:49 find_or_create_column(info)

2008-07-10 12:38:49 init_state: hostname=svr1.cit.cornell.edu,

2008-07-10 12:38:49 init_state(svr1,cit,cornell,edu.ntp, 134769712, ...)

2008-07-10 12:38:49 init_state(svr1,cit,cornell,edu.dns, 134769712, ...)

2008-07-10 12:38:49 init_state: hostname= svr1.cit.cornell.edu,
testname=dns, color=0, acked=0, age=1d22h09m, oldage=1, propagate=1, alert=0

2008-07-10 12:38:49 init_state(svr1,cit,cornell,edu.conn, 134769712, ...)

2008-07-10 12:38:49 find_or_create_column(conn)

2008-07-10 12:38:49 init_state: hostname= svr1.cit.cornell.edu,

alert=0

2008-07-10 12:38:49 init_state(cals-seaintir.trends, 134769712, ...)

2008-07-10 12:38:49 find_or_create_column(trends)

If I run the command below I don't get anything, but if I add "-debug" I
get:

2008-07-10 15:32:17 Transport setup is:

2008-07-10 15:32:17 bbdportnumber = 1984

Do you get anything after the "close connection"??  I get a bunch of

   init_state(host,domain,com.test, -567484, ...)
   find_or_create_column(test)
   init_state: hostname=host.domain.com, testname=test, color=0......

one for each column for each host.  What do yuo get from this command:

   server/bin/bb localhost "hobbitdboard
fields=hostname,testname,color,flags,lastchange,logtime,validtime,acktime,di
sabletime,sender,cookie,line1,acklist"

That's all on one line.  It's what bbgen does immediately after logging
"load_state()"

OK.  What I did to get that log was: stop hobbit, change the bbdisplay entry
in server/etc/hobbitlaunch.cfg to read:

     CMD bbgen $BBGENOPTS --report --debug

then I renamed the bb-display.log file and restarted hobbit.  The log
fragment I posted came from the new bb-display.log during/after it read
through the bb-hosts file.

I guess you wouldn't need to stop/start Hobbit, as it's trying to launch
bbgen every minute...

My bb-display.log has not updated in 2 days (not since I had an initial
problem related to a missing library that was resolved.)  I don't see any of
what you have below.  The hobbitd.log says "Setup complete".  Upon starting
of the service, hobbitlaunch.log says:

The bbdisplay errors continue to occur every few minutes.

Strangely, bben -debug shows that it cooks right through the bb-hosts file
and then after the last line, aborts with no further information.  bbgen
-version runs properly and shows the correct version.  I'm beginning to
wonder if the bbgen file itself is corrupted. 

This is what I get in my bb-display.log after a restart.  The first two
lines below are the last two from bb-hosts - a blank comment line and an
include:

Do you get the "load_state()" ??
