Greetings,

I have this one linux client that is not reporting 'disk', 'cpu', 'ssh' and the custom external script raid-monitor to the hobbit server. 

What is reporting is 'conn', 'info', and 'trends'.

I installed the client with 'apt-get install hobbit-client' on a ubuntu server.

On the hobbitclient.log, it indicates:
2014-08-12 09:16:27 Cannot determine IP address of message recipient 10.218.275.25
2014-08-12 09:16:27 Whoops ! bb failed to send message - Cannot resolve hostname

On the clientlaunch.log, it indicates,

2014-08-12 08:51:18 Loading tasklist configuration from /etc/hobbit/clientlaunch.cfg
2014-08-12 08:51:18 Task raid-monitor terminated, status 2

On the hobbit server in the /etc/hobbit/bb-hosts, it indicates:
xxx..xxx.xxx.xxx  server01 #raid

Will somebody lead me in the right direction, thanks in advance.

Who owns all of the files?

It would probably be easier to compile it, starting from scratch.

So why are you using such an old client on a new install?

Did you edit the ~hobbit/client/etc/hobbitclient.cfg file and put the IP address of your server in the BBDISP field?

The errors are telling us that the client can't talk to the hobbit server. 

Seriously consider upgrading to xymon 4.3 something.

Thanks Paul -- I added BBDISP="ip address" to the hobbitclient.cfg and that did the trick.

I'm using an old client because it is what is available from the default repository when I do a 'apt-get install blah'.

My superiors wants to keep it this way for future updates to work flawlessly.

I'm assuming if it is in the unbuntu default repository it was QAed and tested -- correct me if I am wrong.

I don't use Ubuntu in general. I have it on a raspberry pi, but that's about it. There has got to be a more up todate repository.

Hello,
I'm not sure which version of Ubuntu you are using but up to Ubuntu 13.10
(Saucy) only hobbit-client 4.2.0 is available in ubuntu repositories. This
has been replaced by xymon-client 4.3.7 in Ubuntu 14.04.
As for the later upgrades - the xymon package should recognize that hobbit
was installed on the server before  and migrate the settings, but I'm not
sure whether it migrates any custom extension scripts (in case that you use
any).
Also the IP address of hobbit/xymon server can be configured in
/etc/default/hobbit-client (/etc/default/xymon-client respectively) instead
of changing BBDISP variable in hobbitclient.cfg.

Regards,
Martin
