Hi,

 
Great software!!! It has launched me into the world of Linux at the
office instead of just for play and fun. But I have an issue with the
server not showing it's health statuses. It does not report things like
disk and memory info, it does provide things like: bbd, bbgen, bbtest,
conn, graphs, hobbitd, http, info.  Sorry for a question that is truly a
newb but I ran out of ways to search for the answer and couldn't find
anything that helped.

 
Thank You,

Rafal

Hi,

Have you installed the client on the server aswell?

It's probably picking up the wrong name for itself. If you go to the 
"Reports->Ghost clients" menu, do you see the Hobbit server in there ?
Perhaps as "localhost" ? If you do, then you can either put
"CLIENT:hostname" on the Hobbit server entry in the bb-hosts file, or
you can add a line with
   MACHINE="hobbit.server.hostname"
to ~hobbit/client/etc/hobbitclient.cfg

Ahem - please post in plain text on the mailing list. HTML is
difficult to index and search. (Apart from the fact that I prefer
text-only mail :-))

The question was about the Hobbit server itself - the client is
installed automatically there.

Hi,

Thank you for the quick answer! Here is the line out of my bb-hosts:
"127.0.0.1       AC-HQ-MON1.CORP.AMERICASHLOANS.NET       # bbd http://localhost/hobbit/ CLIENT:AC-HQ-MON1 NOCOLUMNS:files,ports,procs"

And I have tried changing the name in the "CLIENT:" to the FQDN too. No ghost clients listed in the report. But Magnus might be onto something because the hobbitclient.cfg is not present at all and neither is the "client" directory.. I should mention that I installed from and RPM.. sorry I am a NEWB in linux so that was the easiest thing to do. Should I try installing the client RPM?

Thank you so much for the prompt reply!!
