Hi,

  I would like to monitor servers inside a DMZ. Since the
Hobbit-Clients
push the information to the server, they are not able reach the LAN
Hobbit
server : communication from the DMZ to the LAN is forbidden...

  What is your experience in that area guys ?
I use msgcache and the pulldata tag, so that the Hobbit server
connects
to the
hosts being monitored ...
Alright, I've added "pulldata" in the bb-hosts from the server. I've
removed "DISABLED" msgcache in the clientlaunch.cfg file client.

Is there something else ?
 I still see my client inside the DMZ trying to reach the server without
success (blocked by the Firewall).
 I also see the server who make the request to the clients which is
normal
BUT my DMZ hosts switched to purple!

 Did I mist something ?
Configure the client to report to itself (the msgcache), by setting
BBDISP=127.0.0.1 in hobbitclient.cfg.
BBDISP=127.0.0.1 + "pulldata" in the bb-hosts + removed "DISABLED"
msgcache in the clientlaunch.cfg

I see the Hobbit server connection to the DMZ client now. The DMZ clients
do not try to reach the Hobbit server anymore. Good point!

I *still* don't have any report from the DMZ host. Help please.
