RE: [hobbit] Trying to send to dual xymon servers

["T.J. Yang" <tj_yang (at) hotmail.com>]

Looks like you have both BBDISP and BBDISPLAYS configured wrong, see following example.



BBDISP="0.0.0.0"             # IP address of the Hobbit server
BBDISPLAYS="hobbit1.test.com hobbit2.test.com" # IP of multiple Hobbit servers. BBDISP must be "0.0.0.0".
