 Using the bbcmd hobbitd_channel –channel=status cat, I get:

   1662 status doylebrunson.procs clear Wed Sep  8 12:35:33 CDT 2010 -
Processes NOT ok

   1663 &clear No process checks defined

then you should have HOST=doylebrunson and not the FQDN

This should be from the client running on the hobbit server.

I’m having a hard time determining what configuration file to modify for
the client that runs on the server itself.  Basically, I want to start
monitoring PROCs.   After some hunting (there are too many configuration
files with the words “client” and “local”), I thought I found the proper
file “hobbits-client*s*.cfg and added the following:


HOST=thishost.domain.com

        PROC beremote 1


you could watch the status channel to see what the name of the host as sent
by the client running on your hobbit server using either `cat' or
 `hobbitd_capture'


bbcmd hobbitd_channel --channel=status hobbitd_capture --hosts=<hostname>
--tests=procs


-OR-


bbcmd hobbitd_channel --channel=status  cat


(wonder if I could have used “localhost”)


Yet, I’m still not getting PROC monitoring


(Oh, I’m still on hobbit 4.2)
