client doesn't send reports to server 🔗 link

hi,
yesterday everything was good, but now the server doesn't get any reports
from the client.

when i checked "clientlaunch.log" (on the client) i found that the files
"hobbitclient-include.cfg" and "bbdisp-runtime.cfg" aare missing.

i also didn't find the variable BBDISP in the "hobbitclient.cfg".

i really don't know what to do now...

thanks :-)

well, i reinstall the client package on the client, and everything works
fine, but when i rebooted the client machine a found the same problem, the
directory that contains the include files (clientlaunch-include.cfg and
bbdisp-runtime.cfg) is missing...!!!

so pleaase help me..

thanks :-)

What "client package"?

What OS is this?

Could you try compiling from source and see if you have the same problems?

i tried to compile the source, but still the same problem (missing files at
the client station when rebooted it)...

:-(

The problem is that on Ubuntu, some config files are put in /var/run/hobbit. These files are deleted on reboot. What I did to resolve this was to copy the bbdisp statement from bbdisp-runtime.cfg and put it in hobbitclient.cfg.

I have a general alert question I hope some can comment on
 
The following alert is defined in $HOBBIT/etc/hobbit-alerts.cfg
PAGE=%.*/Page_Name SERVICE=Status,PS COLOR=yellow TIME=*:0500:2200 MAIL
<mailto:user-2a0b129afa75@xymon.invalid DURATION>40> user-2a0b129afa75@xymon.invalid DURATION>40 REPEAT=8h
RECOVERED

 
The target page is a subparent of a subpage.   I have about 100 other alerts
defined that I can test successfully with bbcmd hobbitd_alert.   The other
alerts I have do not use the COLOR tag this one in particular I need to
specify using the COLOR tag.   The other alerts also are delivered by email
and they all work.   The services being tested are custom services that are
defined in the ext directory and are being updated every 10 minutes.
 
The alarm conditions for services Status and PS display fine on the web
pages.
 

Any thoughts?
