Sure thing... this may be documented but I found it so quickly I hadn't
even gone ot the man pages yet! :-)
Here is the relevant section of hobbitserver.cfg
Originally BBWEBHOST had http://$BBSERVERWWWNAME
<http://$bbserverwwwname/>; I changed it to https:// and the emails had
the correct link.
# Specific to this host
BBOSTYPE="$BBSERVEROS" # Hosttype (operating system). Not used
by server-side, but clients use this.
MACHINEDOTS="$BBSERVERHOSTNAME" # This systems hostname
MACHINEADDR="$BBSERVERIP" # This systems IP-address
# URL's generated/used by bbgen
BBWEBHOST="https://$BBSERVERWWWNAME"; # Just the host part of
the URL - http://www.foo.com
BBWEBHOSTURL="$BBWEBHOST$BBSERVERWWWURL" # Prefix for all static
Hobbit pages - http://www.foo.com/bb
BBWEBHTMLLOGS="$BBWEBHOSTURL/html" # Prefix for the Hobbit
HTML logs (only if BBLOGSTATUS=STATIC)

Kevin,
Would you mind posting the configuration change you made here, please?
It makes it nice for those who read over the mailing list logs in the
future.

Ok, after some trial and error, I figured this out. Hobbit will only get
the full message from the client if you are using FQDN in bb-hosts and
have the check box on the client checked.
Now is there a way to change the http link that is sent out in the
message? My server uses https rather than http.

So where would I look to see what message is being logged by the client?
It appears this is not being sent to sendmail?

Thinking about it I am using the Windows BB client too! It is
on one server that I normally just cuss and disable the tests for, but
it is reporting =)

I don't think hobbit plays well with the BB windows
client (I don't recal where I saw this). Have you tried putting BBWin
on one of the servers to see if that gives you any output?

Yes here is the relevant line in my hobbit-alerts.cfg

Can you share your ~/server/etc/hobbit-alerts.cfg

Subject: Hobbit Emails empty
I have a test Hobbit server running on CentOS 5.0 I am
running Hobbit 4.1.2p2 and everything appears to be fuinctioning correct
except alerting. When I trigger an alert, I get an email with only a
subject and no body. I expected to get some information about the alert
and the link to the monitored device. I am sure I am missing something
fairly simple but I am new to Linux and Hobbit.
Any Ideas?
