hobbitd_client should reload this file every 10 minutes, if there are
any changes to it. You can also do a "kill -HUP PID" with the process-ID
of the hobbitd_client process to force a reload.

But try the "--test" mode first. Like this:

$ bbcmd hobbitd_client --test
Hostname (.=end, ?=dump, !=reload) []: myhost
Hosttype []:
Test (cpu, mem, disk, proc, log, port): disk
Filesystem: /
Yellow at 85%, red at 90%
Hostname (.=end, ?=dump, !=reload) [myhost]:
Test (cpu, mem, disk, proc, log, port): disk
Filesystem: /backup
Ignored

This is with the following config:

	DISK    / 85 90
	DISK    * IGNORE


Regards,
Henrik

I am trying to do this same thing, but nothing I put in
hobbit-clients.cfg on the server  seems to take any effect.  Is there
something I have to do to get hobbit to re-read this file?

I want to only monitor three specific filesystem on a host, and ignore
the rest.  I tried this in hobbit-clients.cfg:
HOST=wcscbe5
        DISK    * IGNORE
        DISK    /expsys 90 95
        DISK    /expert 90 95
        DISK    /inadsb 90 95
Almost right, put the "DISK * IGNORE" line last instead of first.
First match wins in Hobbit, so you should have the most specific entries
first, and the more generic (default) ones last.
