bbd and http showing as purple on localhost 🔗 link

Since about 12 days ago I'm seeing something really strange.  Hobbit on my
local machine is reporting bbd and httpd as "not reporting" and the
individual information is dated back 12 days.

However, this is the machine the hobbit server is running on.  I can't
quite figure out why its saying bbd is not reporting, when I' m actually
connecting to it and retrieving data (does this make sense?)

All other monitors (including pings to other machines) are reporting
correctly.


Anyone have a suggestion?

Check the bb-hosts file and make sure there is a bbd and http check on on
the
hobbit server line.

Here's the relevant sections of bb-hosts:

#
# Master configuration file for Hobbit
#
# This file defines several things:
#
# 1) By adding hosts to this file, you define hosts that are monitored by
Hobbit
# 2) By adding "page", "subpage", "group" definitions, you define the
layout
#    of the Hobbit webpages, and how hosts are divided among the various
webpages
#    that Hobbit generates.
# 3) Several other definitions can be done for each host, see the
bb-hosts(5)

# You need to define at least the Hobbit server itself here.

I believe that second to last line should read:

127.0.0.1 localhost # bbd http://localhost
