Using the bbcmd hobbitd_channel -channel=status cat, I get:

 

@@status#4724|1283967339.511134|10.2.0.99||doylebrunson|procs|1283969139
|clear||clear|1238886095|0||0||1283967339

   1662 status doylebrunson.procs clear Wed Sep  8 12:35:33 CDT 2010 -
Processes NOT ok

   1663 &clear No process checks defined

 

then you should have HOST=doylebrunson and not the FQDN

 

	 

	This should be from the client running on the hobbit server.

	I'm having a hard time determining what configuration file to
modify for the client that runs on the server itself.  Basically, I want
to start monitoring PROCs.   After some hunting (there are too many
configuration files with the words "client" and "local"), I thought I
found the proper file "hobbits-clients.cfg and added the following:

	 

	HOST=thishost.domain.com

	        PROC beremote 1

	 

	you could watch the status channel to see what the name of the
host as sent by the client running on your hobbit server using either
`cat' or  `hobbitd_capture'

	 

	bbcmd hobbitd_channel --channel=status hobbitd_capture
--hosts=<hostname> --tests=procs

	 

	-OR-

	 

	bbcmd hobbitd_channel --channel=status  cat

	 

	 

	 

		 

		(wonder if I could have used "localhost")

		 

		Yet, I'm still not getting PROC monitoring

		 

		(Oh, I'm still on hobbit 4.2)

		 

		TIA,
