[hobbit] Disk / CPU / memory monitoring

[Allan.Marillier at dana.com]

I checked again just to be sure, but I had already set all clients over a 
year ago to have both servers listed as BBDISPLAY and BBNET, but only one 
as BBPAGER. I thought that was all I needed. The hostname and IP address 
have not changed - all I did was bring BB down on one of the two servers, 
install hobbit and copy across the bb-hosts and bring hobbit up.

Everything else worked like a dream, except my ssh test, which under BB I 
had to put in as ssh:s. Under hobbit that kept flipping between yellow 
(something like an unexpected ssh connect ting I think) and green . Once I 
removed :s from the ssh test that was also perfect.

Check the bb-hosts file used by the BB clients - they have their own
file, with a definition of which server is the BBDISPLAY server.

I think your client bb-hosts file has the old BB server listed as
BBDISPLAY, instead of the Hobbit server.

You can have both, e.g. if you have the client installed in
/usr/local/bb/bbc1.9e-btf/ (the client $BBHOME setting) then in the
etc/bb-hosts file you can have

     10.0.0.1   bbserver.foo.com     # BBDISPLAY BBPAGER
     10.0.0.2   hobbitserver.foo.com # BBDISPLAY BBPAGER

The clients will then send their status updates to both servers.

Note: You need to restart the client after changing the bb-hosts file.
