Hi!

New here, was looking through the first 4 months of the mailarchive for the answer but none could be found.

I've build and installed hobbit server 4.0.4 stable release and everything seems ok. I was running bb19c before without any mods and this looks like a really nice and fast system.

I need the servers to send their cpu/disk/procs data to the hobbit server but I cant seem to be able to build the hobbit client 0.3 on CentOS 4.0. Config passes through without a notice and but it fails on make.

Or is there a way to utilize bb19c disk/cpu/procs scripts for it? bb is still running on the servers that act like bb-clients but doesnt seem to be able to send the data (yes, ports are open - e.i. 1984 tcp in/out and firewall reloaded with new rules).

Thanks for any answers

Kind Regards,
David Majchrzak

There is no general hobbit client yet. The one on SourceForge will only
work with Open(?)BSD. You still need to use the BigBrother clients. (I
think the BigSister clients will work as well, but I haven't tried them
myself).

Thanks,

Ok! That explains the errors make is giving me :)
Any special configs I should think about on the clients running BB? Does the hobbit server need to be included in the bb-hosts file on the clients and have any special tags?

Setup your BB clients as if you had a BB server running on the host that is your Hobbit server. I.e. your client's bb-hosts file should be

    10.1.1.100  client.foo.com #
    10.0.0.1    hobbitserver.foo.com # BBDISPLAY

The Hobbit server is fully compatible with the BB server, so your
clients cannot tell if they're reporting to a Hobbit or a BB server.
So just pretend that it's a BB server ... no special setup is needed.


Regards,
Henrik
