I am trying to monitor my home firewall. I ran a sniff on

the CPU, MEM, etc tests never show up. In bb-hosts on the server, I
listed the server with its FQDN. Am I missing something ?  I tried 
FQDN and Hostname..
The Hobbit client uses the hostname obtained from "uname -n"
as the hostname it reports for the cpu, memory etc. tests. If 
that's not identical to what you have in the bb-hosts file, 
add a "CLIENT:hostname" tag on the entry in your bb-hosts file.
I added the CLIENT tag, and I see the alias listed in info for that
host. When I do 'uname -n' on the firewall I get the short hostname. I
am still not seeing the CPU, MEM, etc. What I have in my hosts file on
the hobbit server is:
192.168.123.1	loki.home.net		# CLIENT:loki
