Here is a copy of the line containing the dione client: 1.2.3.4 dione.namerica.idexxi.com # CLIENT:dione cpu disk ssh The hobbit screen for dione shows conn, info, ssh, and trends nothing else.

Then wait 10 minutes for hobbitd to pick up the new bb-hosts file, and the client to send in the data. Or (if you're impatient): Find the "hobbitd" process-ID and do a "kill -HUP <pid>" on the Hobbit server to force a bb-hosts reload, and after that on the "dione" server you run "bb HOBBITSERVERIP '@' < /usr/local/libexec/hobbit/client/tmp/msg.txt Does that help ?

I have the host listed in bb-hosts with the fully qualified domain name. And when I try accessing the page and I only get the message no data.

OK, do you have the host listed as "dione" in bb-hosts ? If you fetch the URL http://YOURHOBBITSERVER/hobbit-cgi/bb-hostsvc.sh?CLIENT=dione does that present these data in your browser?

I've had requests previously to limit alerts going to the same recipient, which would achieve what you're asking for. I haven't looked at how much work that would require, though. > Is there a way to have only a single notification/resolution for an > individual host that contains all the messages that would normally be > sent separately? Same answer as above. > Also, when I disable a monitor for a host, can that action NOT send a > 'resolved' message but still leave the resolved messages in place? Eh ... I dont understand what you mean by "leave the message in place"? Henrik

In the client/tmp/ directory, there should be a "msg.HOSTNAME.txt" file, which the client generates before sending it off to the Hobbit server. Show us the first few lines of that file, please.

I was looking around and I can see the data files on the Red hat server but when I look on the HPUC client I cannot find any. Any ideas where the data files should be on a hobbit client?

To put the client on machines you wish to monitor, copy over the source bundle, un-tar it and run the configure.client script. You can then run make && make install to install the client. Remember to add the hobbit user before running the configure.client script.

Would anyone have an idea about monitoring lyris listserver? I think that would be a great thing to monitor in terms of its performance. Jason Chambers I.T. Helpdesk Associate <http://www.geosoft.com/> 85 Richmond St W - Toronto, ON, CA - M5H 2C9 - Tel: 416.369.0111 ext 344 - Fax: 416.369.9599
