Newbie question
list Patrick Healy
I hate to ask what appears to be such a 'newbie' question, but I'm stumped... I've installed hobbit on one of about a dozen servers. I've configured bb-hosts correctly and can see some basic status information about each host. What should I install on the other hosts so that I can see cpu information, disk space, etc? Do I need to install hobbit everywhere? Thanks!

You need to install a client on the hosts you want to monitor. Until quite recently, Hobbit didn't have a client - it relied on the client package from the "Big Brother" system. However, there is now a client package available for Hobbit - it's included with the server source. See the README.CLIENT file in the top-level hobbit source directory. Regards, Henrik

Normally a Hobbit client, but I'm not sure what the status of that is. The Big Brother clients (windows included) can send their data to a Hobbit server (for now). Nice weather we're having in Buffalo these days, eh? Paul

Paul - Don't let on about our weather; we finally have people convinced that we invented 'Buffalo Wings' to stay warm in our 11 month winter...
