You need to install a client on the hosts you want to monitor.

Until quite recently, Hobbit didn't have a client - it relied on the
client package from the "Big Brother" system. However, there is now
a client package available for Hobbit - it's included with the server
source. See the README.CLIENT file in the top-level hobbit source
directory.
