RE: [hobbit] Hobbit client doesn't report

[Kevin Hanrahan <kevinmhanrahan (at) hotmail.com>]

Gentlemen,
  Thanks VERY much for your input. I found the problem. It was a naming convention. The example I sent did not have the original entry in the bb-hosts file. When I originally installed hobbit, I selected FQDN, so all my hosts had the FQDN. It looked like this:
 
10.10.0.6 castor.galaxy.prv # trace
however, I do not see an option in the client package to make the host report as a FQDN.
 
I changed the entry in the bb-hosts to use the short name while I was typing the entry to this forum. I looked later and found that 
it was now collecting data.
 
Is this a bug or just an oversight on my part?
 
Ideas?....and thanks for all your help.
