Hobbit won't monitor itself!

Hi all,

I have a new installation of Hobbit 4.2.0, the daemons all seem to be up
and running OK and the bb-hosts file has two machines in it, the Hobbit
server itself and another server, however the web page doesn't show any
servers.

If I configure a page in the bb-hosts files it appears in the web page
so bb-hosts is being read OK, it's just that no hosts are appearing.

There are no errors in the log files and everything looks fine, can
anyine give me some pointers as to where I should look now?

Check the ghost clients report on the webpage and see if they are
showing up there.

Hi Josh/Paul/All,

Josh, I can confirm that the page is updating regularly.

Paul you were correct, the servers were listed on the Ghost Clients
page, however I cannot figure out why they appear there and not on the
main page. The host name that is listed on this page is the same one
that is configured in bb-hosts, as in:

Web page:
 Hostname                  Sent from     Report age
 hbt0.lon.dcn.domain.com   10.44.107.48  0:51
 tac0.lon.ws.domain.com    10.44.107.48  1:08

bb-hosts (this is the entire contents of my bb-hosts file):
10.44.107.48    hbt0.lon.dcn.domain.com   # BBDISPLAY BBPAGER BBNET bbd
10.74.79.11     tac0.lon.ws.domain.com    # ssh

I have verified on the main Hobbit server that tac0.lon.ws.domain.com
resolves to 10.74.79.11, 10.74.79.11 resolves to tac0.lon.ws.domain.com,
hbt0.lon.dcn.domain.com resolves to 10.44.107.48 and 10.44.107.48
resolves to hbt0.lon.dcn.domain.com.

I am a bit further on, but still stumped.

Martin,

You have the wrong arguments for hobbit, I believe.  This is what my Hobbit
host looks like in bb-hosts with your information:

10.44.107.48   hbt0.lon.dcn.domain.com   # bbd http://
hbt0.lon.dcn.domain.com/hobbit/

I really don't think it has anything to do with bb-hosts in this case.  From
the looks of it the configuration else where is what drives the Hobbitd to
get its own information on there.  As this is obviously a new install, I
would suggest doing a ./configure.server && make && make install again.
