I am running hobbit 4.1.2p1 on a Solaris Sparc.

I want to monitor my entire clients to determine if that are up and
connected.

With a script I created a file of all clients for each subnet from a
database that includes all hosts. I run this when I add or remove hosts in
the database.

I then added an "include filename-of-clients" to the bb-hosts. The following
is an example of the include file.


128.999.3.40    abel.xxx.yyy.edu
128.999.3.39    agnesi.xxx.yyy.edu
128.999.3.212   ahlfors.xxx.yyy.edu
128.999.3.91    apostol-lp.xxx.yyy.edu
128.999.3.26    archimedes.xxx.yyy.edu

My bb-hosts looks as follows

page subnet3 Subnet3
include /homes/bb/hobbit/bb-host-include/bb-host-list-3

The web page is created for the clients and it has "conn info trends" header
for each client. Clients that are not pingable are marked red. 

I also have entries in the data/rrd/hostname.domain.edu.


PROBLEM:

The problem is that when I click on any icon for a host, I get a page that
says "No such host".

What have I forgotten?

For kicks I decided to just add a few names that were in the include file to
the bb-host file and comment out the include line.

Now they work. 
Am I using the include file the wrong way?

Hi !

I would try to loook in the logfile to see if there are any errors in 
the include process.

In all my include files I have the group-compress "group name" before 
all hosts entries and also I have at least a # sign after the hostname.

You could try this.

From your description, I cannot point at anything you've done wrong.

The only thing I can think of is that the include file is not readable
by the webserver userid (who runs the CGI programs). Could you check
permissions on the include-file and the directories where they are
located ?
