Hi Thomas,
I checked the /etc/hosts localhost entry and it is there ... but I am
happy to leave it using the servers IP address.
Thanks again for your help
Russell

Hi Russell,
great to hear that it works fine.
Your "localhost not working"-problem might be due to missing entries in
`/etc/hosts` it should contain a line like
127.0.0.1 localhost
You could reply to the list so others can find this "resolved" (this
email reached my personally).
All the best
Thomas

Thanks Thomas,
I tried the setup as you suggested, but found the localhost:1985
didn't
work. I changed it to use the ip address instead and that worked.
Thanks for your help
Cheers

The bbproxy-idea sounds good.
The following _should_ work:
- running bbproxy on the old installation listening on port 1984 to
accept all incoming messages
- re-configure the hobbitd on the old installation to listen on
another
port (say 1985)
- forward messages from bbproxy to localhost:1985 and newserver:1984
I've done something similar with ssh tunnels and bbproxy. A test-setup
would before going live with this may be helpful.
Another option may be to add an additional IP to your server and
binding
bbproxy and hobbitd to them?
All the best
Thomas

Hi,
I am building a new XyMon server to replace an old Hobbit
installation
that is monitoring a few hundred devices. I would like to somehow
like
to forward the status messages to the new server while I am testing
...
anyone have any ideas ... I thought of trying to use bbproxy, but I
suspect hobbitd needs to be stopped ... which defeats the object I
suppose.
