Question about Hobbit
list Adam Tetz
Iv'e got a question about Hobbit, The helpfile says : By default, Hobbit will always check if the host is up and running by trying to "ping" it. This results in a *conn* column on the Hobbit webpage for this host, showing if the ping-test succeeded. If you have a host that does not respond to ping - e.g. because there is a firewall that filters out such requests - then you can disable the ping-test by putting a "noconn" keyword on the line in bb-hosts. But this doesn't work! My line is: 0.0.0.0 (website) # noconn http://(website<http://%28website/>; ) But the connection icon stays red. Also the icons fomr the Hobbit server itself are truning purple? How can i switch them back to green?? I can't find this in the manual. -- Regards, Adam Tetz

If Hobbit is running correctly I don't see how you got a red status in the conn column - you have a noconntag. Can you delete the history files for that host and see if shows up again?

It's the ~hobbit/server/etc/columndoc.csv file you must add an entry to. Henrik

If you started out without the "noconn", then there is a "conn" status that you must explicitly delete. You do this with bb 127.0.0.1 "drop website conn"

Purple means they are not being updated. Did you change the hostname of your Hobbit server in the bb-hosts file ? Regards, Henrik

Not a problem, but it does explain why your statuses have gone purple. To fix it, change the BBSERVERHOSTNAME setting in hobbitserver.cfg to match the new name for the Hobbit server in bb-hosts. Regards, Henrik
