hobbitd_client should reload this file every 10 minutes, if there are any changes to it. You can also do a "kill -HUP PID" with the process-ID of the hobbitd_client process to force a reload.
But try the "--test" mode first. Like this:
$ bbcmd hobbitd_client --test Hostname (.=end, ?=dump, !=reload) []: myhost Hosttype []: Test (cpu, mem, disk, proc, log, port): disk Filesystem: / Yellow at 85%, red at 90% Hostname (.=end, ?=dump, !=reload) [myhost]: Test (cpu, mem, disk, proc, log, port): disk Filesystem: /backup Ignored
This is with the following config:
DISK / 85 90
DISK * IGNORERegards, Henrik

I am trying to do this same thing, but nothing I put in hobbit-clients.cfg on the server seems to take any effect. Is there something I have to do to get hobbit to re-read this file?

I want to only monitor three specific filesystem on a host, and ignore
the rest. I tried this in hobbit-clients.cfg:
HOST=wcscbe5 DISK * IGNORE DISK /expsys 90 95 DISK /expert 90 95 DISK /inadsb 90 95
Almost right, put the "DISK * IGNORE" line last instead of first. First match wins in Hobbit, so you should have the most specific entries first, and the more generic (default) ones last.
