[Xymon] cleint not reporting to hobbit server

[usa ims]

Thanks Paul -- I added BBDISP="ip address" to the hobbitclient.cfg and that did the trick.

I'm using an old client because it is what is available from the default repository when I do a 'apt-get install blah'.

My superiors wants to keep it this way for future updates to work flawlessly.

I'm assuming if it is in the unbuntu default repository it was QAed and tested -- correct me if I am wrong.

 So why are you using such
 an old client on a new install?
 
 Did you edit the
 ~hobbit/client/etc/hobbitclient.cfg file and put the IP
 address of your server in the BBDISP field?
 
 The errors are telling us that
 the client can't talk to the hobbit server. 
 
 Seriously consider upgrading
 to xymon 4.3 something.

 Greetings,
 
 I have this one linux client
 that is not reporting 'disk', 'cpu',
 'ssh' and the custom external script raid-monitor to
 the hobbit server. 
 
 What is
 reporting is 'conn', 'info', and
 'trends'.
 
 I
 installed the client with 'apt-get install
 hobbit-client' on a ubuntu server.
 
 On the hobbitclient.log, it indicates:
 2014-08-12 09:16:27 Cannot determine IP address
 of message recipient 10.218.275.25
 2014-08-12 09:16:27 Whoops ! bb failed to send

 On the clientlaunch.log, it indicates,
 2014-08-12 08:51:18 hobbitlaunch starting
 2014-08-12 08:51:18 Loading tasklist
 configuration from /etc/hobbit/clientlaunch.cfg
 2014-08-12 08:51:18 Task raid-monitor
 terminated, status 2
 
 On the
 hobbit server in the /etc/hobbit/bb-hosts, it indicates:
 xxx..xxx.xxx.xxx  server01 #raid
 
 Will somebody lead me in the
 right direction, thanks in advance.
