i recently set-up a hobbit server using fc4. it is doing the monitoring quite well.
the server is on a 10.xxx.xxx.xxx private network. and i monitor solaris clients on a 137.xxx.xxx.xxx public network.
relevant facts: ** the server is able to ping the client. ** the client is able to ping the server. ** the compiled hobbit client software is in its basic form, no other add-ons. ** client is able to create vmstat.$PID on the directory $HOBBITHOME/tmp ** client is able to create msg.txt in the same directory. ** no logs indicate failure on both server and client
problem: ** the hobbit webpage for the client is empty (justs a "-") except for conn and trends.
Check the BBDISP setting on the client - in the file ~hobbit/client/etc/hobbitclient.cfg . It must be the IP of your Hobbit server.
Check that the hostname that the client reports - it's taken from the "uname -n" command - matches the name you have in the bb-hosts file. Some systems include the domain name, others don't. If it doesn't match, either change the bb-hosts file or start the client with the "--hostname=MY.HOBBIT.HOSTNAME" option.
Check that the client can connect to the server on TCP port 1984 (from the client, just do a "telnet ip.of.server 1984" and see if it connects OK). There might be some firewall enabled on either host that blocks this connection.
Most likely problem is 2).
