Found it, I think. "Oversize message" in hobbitd test. So it appears that the entire message is available under the "client data" link, but the MAXMSG* size settings determine how much of that client data Hobbit will process? When I said before that I could see my data in the "client data" display, that data was at the end of the message. I guess it was getting truncated during processing. When I added entries for larger message sizes to hobbitserver.cfg my FILE test problem looks like it went away.

I have a FILE test that is not working ... the webpage displays "No files checked" on one of two identicallly monitored servers. The second server works just fine.
The two servers are configured like this in client-local.cfg on the Hobbit host:
[spiexp1] file:/tmp/dfh.test log:/var/adm/messages:10240 [wcscbe5] file:/tmp/dfh.test log:/var/adm/messages:10240
And like this in hobbit-clients.cfg:
HOST=spiexp1,wcscbe5 FILE /tmp/dfh.test size>1K LOAD 40.0 70.0 DISK /expsys 95 98 DISK /expert 95 98 DISK /inadsb 90 95 DISK * IGNORE
I can see the meta-data for my test file, /tmp/dfh.test, in the "client data" display for each server, so both of them apparently got the message and are uploading the required data:
[file:/tmp/dfh.test] type:100000 (file) mode:644 (-rw-r--r--) linkcount:1 owner:12319 (haertig) group:906 (tsc) size:0 clock:1193264890 (2007/10/24-16:28:10) atime:1193257900 (2007/10/24-14:31:40) ctime:1193257900 (2007/10/24-14:31:40) mtime:1193257900 (2007/10/24-14:31:40)
But spiexp1 is saying "No files checked" whereas wcscbe5 is working just as I'd expect. Both servers were given two hours to settle out all the upload/download handshaking stuff before I checked the results. Is there something I'm missing in my setup? Both servers are configured very similarly, but they're not identical twins. They run Solaris 7 (yeah, don't tell me - I know it's old!). Possibly related, wcscbe5 shows the output of the 'top' command on it's 'cpu' column on the webpage, but spiexp1 does not (the graph is there for spiexp1, but not the 'top' data, however spiexp1's 'top' data IS in the "client data" ... just not on the displayed webpage).
Thanks !
