Oh look at that: you're quite correct, Johan meant to say config, not alerts. Heh. Glad Michael managed to figure that out despite our mangling.

Yes, moving from the default section to the bottom resolved my issue, works as expected now. Thanks to all for the assist

Ok, understood. So what we need to convey to Michael is that the default section should be at the bottom of his hobbit-clients.cfg file, not his hobbit-alerts.cfg file, in order to work most efficiently. I’m sure it was just a simple mistake in the file name mentioned and I didn’t catch what he really meant because of that. And the fact that I’m still pretty much a noob with hobbit.

I believe the meaning is "If you have a DEFAULT section, it must be at the bottom, because it will not be overwritten by later directives and will take precedence over anything you put after it."

I have no default section at the bottom of my hobbit-alerts.cfg file and everything is working fine…

Hi.
The DEFAULT section MUST be at the bottom of hobbit-alerts.cfg.

I have some questions on bbwin configuration.
from bbwin.cfg
<setting name="mode" value="central" />
<setting name="configclass" value="win32" />
In the disk section
<setting name="default" warnlevel="85%" paniclevel="95%" />
from hobbit-clients.cfg
DEFAULT
# These are the built-in defaults.
CLOCK 1200
DISK * 90 95
UP 30m
CLASS=win32
DISK C 50 55 # Can be harddrive or mount points
DISK D 50 55 # Can be harddrive or mount points
HOST=foo
DISK V 101 101
DISK W 101 101
I am expecting mode central to cause the disk section of bbwin.cfg to be ignored, and for node foo the C and D drives to go yellow at 50%, red at 55%, and the V and W drives to always be green. However, that is not happening. All of the drives are going yellow at 90% and red at 95% which matches default. What am I doing wrong?
