Displayed time
list Colin Coe
Hi all I've recently noticed that the displayed time (top right hand corner) shows the local time (in my case +8UTC) when in main view and non-green but shows UTC time in Critical Systems and when viewing client status pages. Any ideas why this is the case? Thanks CC -- RHCE#805007969328369

No idea at all, but I can try for an educated guess.
All these pages are generated. Check the code.
From memory, main page, non-green and critical view is generated by bbgen.
(Corrections welcome)
Client pages are generated using hobbitsvc.cgi
Check if there is a date code difference.
A big ask, so to narrow it down, look at the header HTML code.
They all use different header pages, but the dates all appear to be
populated using &BBDATE
I would start by checking how that gets set.
But before you start on a wild goose chase, it always helps to check your
configs.
There is a DATEFORMAT defined in hobbitserver.cfg
Make sure it isn't redefined in hobbitcgi.cfg
Warning : All of the above could be false. (Note the educated guess bit)
:-)
Good luck.
Cheers
Vernon

Hi Vernon Thanks for the response however some more googling turned up http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.monitoring.hobbit/23638 which solved the problem for me (after I changed the AllowOverride directive in the xymon-apache.conf file). Thanks again CC On Thu, Dec 23, 2010 at 12:44 PM, Vernon Everett

A good find. It should probably go into the FAQ or installation docco. Who is the current docco maintainers? T.J. you still out there? Regards
