Gentlemen,
Thanks VERY much for your input. I found the problem. It was a naming
convention. The example I sent did not have the original entry in the
bb-hosts file. When I originally installed hobbit, I selected FQDN, so all
my hosts had the FQDN. It looked like this:
10.10.0.6 castor.galaxy.prv # trace
however, I do not see an option in the client package to make the host
report as a FQDN.
I changed the entry in the bb-hosts to use the short name while I was
typing the entry to this forum. I looked later and found that
it was now collecting data.
Is this a bug or just an oversight on my part?
Ideas?....and thanks for all your help.
Kevin

Hello again all, To re-visit my question about the hobbit client, I
have
done the following:
- downloaded and compiled the hobbit client on a SEPERATE machine from
the hobbit server server = hercules client = castor - put an entry in
bb-hosts on the server (hercules) for the client (castor) that looks
like
this: 10.10.0.6 castor # trace
- configured hobbitclient.cfg on the client to look like this:
BBDISP="10.10.0.13" # IP address of the Hobbit server
- started the hobbit client on the client machine (castor)
I get NO client data. All I get is the tests that are originated from
the
server (conn,info,trends)
Any ideas?
Anything in Reports-->Ghost Systems? If the client's notion of the name
to report under doesn't match bb-hosts exactly, you may find it there.
If
so, fix bb-hosts and
bb 127.0.0.1 "rename <old-bb-hosts-hostname> <client-hostname>"
