Configuring the client that runs on the server
list Frank M. Ramaekers
I'm having a hard time determining what configuration file to modify for
the client that runs on the server itself. Basically, I want to start
monitoring PROCs. After some hunting (there are too many configuration
files with the words "client" and "local"), I thought I found the proper
file "hobbits-clients.cfg and added the following:
HOST=thishost.domain.com
PROC beremote 1
(wonder if I could have used "localhost")
Yet, I'm still not getting PROC monitoring
(Oh, I'm still on hobbit 4.2)
TIA,

you could watch the status channel to see what the name of the host as sent by the client running on your hobbit server using either `cat' or `hobbitd_capture' bbcmd hobbitd_channel --channel=status hobbitd_capture --hosts=<hostname> --tests=procs -OR- bbcmd hobbitd_channel --channel=status cat
