[hobbit] hobbit-clients configuration not taking

[Josh Luthman]

>Hmm..  Well, since you are pretty experienced you have probably checked the
obvious places.  I would check to make sure that the Xymon server knows
these hosts by these names, and not by a shorter version (without the domain
name).

As far as I know the only place to look is hobbit-clients.cfg.  In
hobbit-alerts.cfg this rule works: HOST=%.*\.imaginenetworksllc\.com

The URL has the FQDN, so I can only imagine the same is expected of
hobbit-clients.cfg:
http://myserverhere.com/hobbit-cgi/bb-hostsvc.sh?HOST=two.imaginenetworksllc.com&SERVICE=msgs

>And you know that the hobbit-clients.cfg bits are exclusive to Xymon and
will not work with Big Brother clients -- Big Brother does not know how to
send the necessary data to Xymon for interpretation.  You have to use Xymon
clients for this (which leaves you stuck with Windows machines unless the
BBWin client supports this now).

All other clients are hobbit-4.2.0 just like the server.  No patches, just
4.2.0 release.
