You are probably looking for /etc/default/hobbit-client to configure the
address of the server.

If that's not it, go from first principles - either check what is in
/etc/init.d/hobbit-client (or xymon-client) or list the installed files.
On my system I get:
# rpm -ql hobbit-client
/etc/default/hobbit-client
/etc/init.d/hobbit-client
/usr/lib/hobbit/client
/usr/lib/hobbit/client/bin
