Having an issue with bbproxy. I have a main hobbit box 192.168.213.5
and a secondary box that currently has 192.168.213.4 (it will be moved
offsite after testing and setup is completed) I want .4 to forward all
info to .5, but 4 does not need to display anything locally.
On .4 I have tried various things with no apparent progress. In
hobbitlaunch.cfg I disabled hobbitd as instructed and set [bbproxy] up
as follows
[bbproxy]
ENVFILE /usr/lib/hobbit/server/etc/hobbitserver.cfg
CMD $BBHOME/bin/bbproxy --hobbitd --bbdisplay=192.168.213.5
--report=$MACHINE.bbproxy --pidfile=$BBSERVERLOGS/bbproxy.pid
So far it looks correct.
On the main server .5, I get the following messages under hobbit process
Hostname 'apollo.tfc.com' in tree, but no host-info
Hostname 'bomgar' in tree, but no host-info
These are messages from hobbitd meaning that it does know there is a
host called "bomgar", but it cannot find any data about it from the
entry in the bb-hosts file. This shouldn't really be possible to
trigger. So how did you do it - what does your "bomgar" entry in
bb-hosts look like ?
Also, if you force a reload of the bb-hosts file ("kill -HUP
<hobbitd-PID>"), do these messages go away ?
Do I need to do something on .5? I tried adding 'apollo.tfc.com' and
'bomgar' to the bbhosts file on .5 but that appears to have produced
resulted in .5 simply checking the hosts out for itself instead of using
.4's results.
You do need the hosts in the bb-hosts file (if not there, they won't
show up on the web pages). To avoid doing the network tests, just put a
"noconn" on the entries.
1) How to I display the result from .4 on .5?
2) Where will the info appear? On the bb.html page or can I make it
appear in one of my existing PAGE groups?
Put these hosts in the bb-hosts file, and handle them - display-wise -
like any other host.
3) In the future can I use --bbdisplay=192.168.213.5 to use the FQDN for
when I finally deploy it?
No, the --bbdisplay argument must be an IP-address. Shouldn't be
difficult to script it if you need to use the DNS name, though.
