Gentlemen, Thanks VERY much for your input. I found the problem. It was a naming convention. The example I sent did not have the original entry in the bb-hosts file. When I originally installed hobbit, I selected FQDN, so all my hosts had the FQDN. It looked like this:
10.10.0.6 castor.galaxy.prv # trace
however, I do not see an option in the client package to make the host report as a FQDN.
I changed the entry in the bb-hosts to use the short name while I was typing the entry to this forum. I looked later and found that it was now collecting data.
Is this a bug or just an oversight on my part?
Ideas?....and thanks for all your help.
Kevin

Hello again all, To re-visit my question about the hobbit client, I
have
done the following:
downloaded and compiled the hobbit client on a SEPERATE machine from the hobbit server server = hercules client = castor - put an entry in bb-hosts on the server (hercules) for the client (castor) that looks like this: 10.10.0.6 castor # trace
configured hobbitclient.cfg on the client to look like this: BBDISP="10.10.0.13" # IP address of the Hobbit server
started the hobbit client on the client machine (castor)
I get NO client data. All I get is the tests that are originated from the server (conn,info,trends)
Any ideas?
Anything in Reports-->Ghost Systems? If the client's notion of the name to report under doesn't match bb-hosts exactly, you may find it there. If so, fix bb-hosts and bb 127.0.0.1 "rename <old-bb-hosts-hostname> <client-hostname>"
