Hi.
If you wish to forward messages using multiple displays you should change a couple of things, revert the configuration files (hobbitlaunch.cfg) to make hobbit act as a display server then you should change hobbitserver.cfg as follows: BBDISP="0.0.0.0" BBDISPLAYS="$BBSERVERIP 12.34.56.78"
The BS ip should be changed to whatever the ip is for your main hobbit server.
This configuration *should* work. Just reply if it doesn't.
With regards, Sigurdur Gudbrandsson

The more I read through the archives, the more confused I am on how to implement this. Basically, I want to monitor 64 compute nodes that are on a private network. I do not want to have to install the client on all of the nodes as all I care about is the ping test. I have a main hobbit server that I want to merge the info from the cluster and from various other systems that I monitor.
To work as a bridge, I installed hobbit on the head node of the cluster as it is the only system with an interface on both networks. On the head node I disabled all of the hobbitd modules and setup bbproxy to forward messages to my main hobbit server. This didn’t work. After reading up on the bbproxy man page it looks like bbproxy is really meant to forward client messages on to a bbdisplay. Since I don’t have the hobbit client installed on the compute nodes it doesn’t sound like bbproxy will work for this. I am a bit confused on what actually does the network tests. Do I have to have hobbitd running on the head node in order for the network tests to run? If that is the case, how do I get hobbitd to forward information on to a different hobbit server?
I am pretty sure that I have simply failed to understand one of the man pages or something, but I cant seem to figure out how to accomplish what I am looking to do.
