Re: [hobbit] Client data not appearing on hobbit server



Hi Allen,

On the older 4.1.2p1 server I have many client servers correctly reporting their data (CPU, memory, filesystems etc.) and a few that are not. Only the conn, ssh, ftp, html etc tests initiated by the server are displaying data. My entry in bb-hosts is exactly the same as for some other servers where data is being correctly reported and all hobbit client processes look normal with nothing unusual in log files.

Do your clients send their data with the correct (fully qualified?) hostname, as they are listed in the server's bb-hosts file?
If your bb-hosts has a client node defined, for example:


client.my.domain.com 123.456.78.9

but the hostname command on your client only reports "client" as the hostname without the domain, the hobbit server will not display the data. You have to change the client's hostname an include the domain or you have to start the hobbit client with the option

--hostname=client.my.domain.com

Hope this helps,
Dirk Kastens
