Is your WHOZIT test sending the status message as "data"?? I.e., something
like this:
$BB $BBDISP "data HOSTNAME.WHOZIT ......."
If not, I don't think it will go to the data channel.
Also, you might want to take a look at hobbitd_sample:
http://hobbitmon.sourceforge.net/docs/man8/hobbitd_sample.8.html
It's just an example worker module that can attach to any channel and grab
copies of any information passing through. You could modify that to parse
the incoming data and store just the bits you really need.

Hi,
Im migrating from Big Bro and have a test that I send back to the BB server
called "WHOZIT" - I then parse those files on the BB server and generate
additional and combined results pages.
On Hobbit, it appears that this "storing" of data received is turned off.
I looked at my Debian Lenny configuration files for this and it looks like
I have to enable "data" in my /etc/hobbit/hobbitlaunch.cfg file. This is
what I did:
[bbdata]
ENVFILE /usr/lib/hobbit/server/etc/hobbitserver.cfg
NEEDS hobbitd
CMD hobbitd_channel --channel=data --log=$BBSERVERLOGS/data.log
hobbitd_filestore --data
restarting the hobbit server and looking later in /var/lib/hobbit/logs and
/data, I only see a couple of new files for the local machine.
So I dont think I understand how to configure this properly. I am just
dumping a bunch of plaintext out from my client and sending it back - I
really dont even care about the status part - I just want the text, and I
only need to store it for the WHOZIT test, I dont care about storing
raw data files for any other test.
I would appreciate a pointer to the docs or tips on how to do this.
