Jason,
The 'data' command is only for sending a graphing point to Hobbit which
will appear on a predefined graph on the trends page.
If you want to send a message that appears as a new icon, send a status
message.

Hi All,
I asked this question before but got a mixed response. If I wanted to
add an additional test to the client data received by hobbit from a
client machine with the intention of writing a server side module to
produce a status message (the way the core hobbit tests do) how would I
go about sending the data from the client to the server?
I have looked at the man pages for bb and I think it's the data "stream"
i.e:
$BBHOME/bin/bb <Server IP> "data foo,bar,com.test\n This is a test"
But after running this nothing appears on the server - have I
misunderstood? If not where is this "data" message being stored on the
server?
Thanks,
Jason.
