I don't think hobbit plays well with the BB windows client (I don't recal where I saw this). Have you tried putting BBWin on one of the servers to see if that gives you any output?

Can you share your ~/server/etc/hobbit-alerts.cfg please?

Subject: Hobbit Emails empty
I have a test Hobbit server running on CentOS 5.0 I am running Hobbit 4.1.2p2 and everything appears to be fuinctioning correct except alerting. When I trigger an alert, I get an email with only a subject and no body. I expected to get some information about the alert and the link to the monitored device. I am sure I am missing something fairly simple but I am new to Linux and Hobbit.
Any Ideas?
