host-specific settings
list Johan Booysen
I'm new to hobbit monitor, and trying to set up host-specific settings
in hobbit-clients.cfg on the hobbit server. At the moment I want to do
a simple test, so that default settings apply to all clients except for
server1 for which I want to use other disk space parameters:
In hobbit-clients.cfg I have:
DEFAULT
# These are the built-in defaults.
UP 1h
LOAD 5.0 10.0
DISK * 90 95
MEMPHYS 100 101
MEMSWAP 50 80
MEMACT 90 97
HOST=server1
DISK * 95 99
However, server1 still applies the default settings for DISK. I've
reloaded the hobbit service so it rereads its config files, but after
about 30 minutes the changes still don't seem to have taken effect.
I've followed the instructions on the hobbit-config.html help page, but
think I may be missing something.
Any advice on this?
Thanks.

You need to put the server specific entry(ies) BEFORE the default settings.

From hobbit-clients.cfg.5.html
The entire file is evaluated from the top to bottom, and the first
match found is used. So you should put the specific settings first, and the
generic ones last

Thanks for the replies. Next time I'll read through the WHOLE man page before asking a question! J
