I *think* the list of disabled hosts/services is kept in memory.  There's a
checkpoint file:

   server/tmp/hobbitd.chk

but I don't know what kind of brain dump that is...  It may not include the
disabled list.

I don't know why the full list of servers doesn't show up in your
Admin->Enable/Disable menu, unless they simply haven't reported in yet.

Folks

I'm having a problem with the Enable/Disable option under the
Administration tab.  Our hobbit server died overnight.  Rather than replace
the motherboard, we moved the disks to another Dell box, same model, and
booted up.  When hobbit was running again, I noticed that none of the
information about devices/servers/services that had been disabled through
the web browser interface were preserved.  I also noticed that I can only
see the list of devices/servers/services to enable/disable now if I go the
individual page where the item is listed.  The entire list is not showing up
on the main page any more.

Can someone tell me where to find the information that is configured from
the web browser for the Enable/Disable administrative option?  Is that
stored in a file?  And does anyone have an idea why the full list of entries
from bb-hosts is not shown when I go to Enable/Disable from the main page?

We are running hobbit 4.2 on a RHEL4 server.  As far as I've been able to
determine, hobbit seems to be running normally otherwise.

Thanks for your help.

Is there a hobbit client for Red Hat's RHEL5?  The client I use for RHEL4
has some issues running on RHEL5.
