Hi All

I just installed hobbit-4.1.1 server on my hobbitd server and
hobbit-4.1.1 client part on one of my Solaris 7 box. 
Now I do not see any vmstat column for the client on the hobbit webpage.

This is the first time I am using hobbit-4.1.1. What am I missing? Where
do I look for clue?

Here is the entry of the client in hobbitd server's bb-hosts page

123.47.0.222    anon.here.biz # ssh vmstat

Thanks

The Hobbit client reports vmstat as "data" not "status" so it doesn't
get its own entry on the webpage. It still shows up in "trends". If you
want a vmstat entry on the webpage you can still run the vmstat bottom
feeder as an external script.

Hmm.. how about the other tags that I see in msg.txt but now in hobbit
webpage. For example, df/prtconf/memory/netstat/ps/top.

Also I do not see any vmstat graph in trend column. All I have in trend
column are ssh and conn.

Thanks

Any would know how do I have my hobbit client send status to hobbit server. It does not seems like sending it by default.

I checked the hobbitdboard on the server and all I see is conn,ssh,trend,info for my hobbit client 4.1.1. I should see all the other tags like memory/cpu/top and others

Do I need to use the 'bb' to send the status files from the new
hobbit client to hobbit server 4.1.1

My old bb-clients are working just fine. There is no one machine where
I have both bb-client and hobbit-client running at the same time. I disabled the bb-client while testing hobbit-client, just in case I
need to go back to bb-client.

Thanks

1. Is there a hobbitd_client process running on your client? There
should be. 
2. There should be a 'hobbitd_channel --channel=client ....' process
running on your server, as well. If its not there you may need to enable
it in hobbitlaunch.cfg
3. Are you running a 4.1.1 server? Earlier versions of the server would
not know how to handle the hobbitclient feed.

not know how to handle the hobbitclient feed. 

Also, the Hobbit client uses the hostname from "uname -n" as the name
by which it reports. If that doesn't match your entry in the Hobbit
server bb-hosts file, the client reports are silently ignored.

I was using fully qualified domain name on bb-hosts. Changed that to
reflect `uname -n` which is just host name for this one client. Will see
if that fixes the problem

Thanks

The bb-hosts name was the problem. Thanks a lot guys for your help. Now
I see the 'msgs' tag is clear. How do I send red alert when
/var/adm/messages file is empty?

Also I see [netstat] section in the msg.txt file. How do place a netstat
tag for my client? Is that something I modify on the server side?
