I am switching my clients over from using the big brother client to

not collecting the data. Other client systems are working. Any ideas of
where I need to look?????
Most common cause for this is that the clients are reporting data with a
hostname which is different than what you have in the bb-hosts file.
Typically, one side has the fully-qualified hostname, and the other
only has the raw hostname (without domain).
The client uses the "uname -n" command to determine what name it uses to
report data. Check if this matches the name you have in bb-hosts. If it
doesn't, you can either start the client with the
"--hostname=my.host.name" option, or you can put a CLIENT:clienthostname
tag on the host definition in the bb-hosts file.
