If they are coming up as ghosts, then you need to make sure there is an entry in your bb-hosts file with the same hostname as being reported in the ghost report or a CLIENT tag on the bb-hosts line you have for this server.

Fellowes, Inc. -----Original Message----- From: David Morgan [mailto:captkras at gmail.com] Sent: Monday, May 10, 2010 8:39 AM To: hobbit at hswn.dk Subject: [hobbit] Question about Server Status Forwarding
We are starting to deploy multiple "collector" servers. What we want is to have Hobbit Server A collect from it's local group, Server B to collect from its local group, and Server C to collect for its local group. (By local group, I mean IP address and physical location space).
Then we want to have Server A and Server C send the status messages that they have collected to Server B.
I THOUGHT all that needed to be done was to put in the following:
[snip from hobbitserver.cfg on Server A]
BBDISP="0.0.0.0" # IP of a single hobbit/bbd server BBDISPLAYS="<Server A IP>,<Server B IP>" # IP of multiple hobbit/bbd servers. If used, BBDISP must be 0.0.0.0
However, it appears that all the entries that are being forwarded are coming in as ghosts. Is there something else I need to do on ServerB? Or on the client side? Should I be using BB-proxy? There isn't any firewall or proxying between the groups.
