[xymon] Configuring the client that runs on the server

Using the bbcmd hobbitd_channel –channel=status cat, I get:

@@status#4724|1283967339.511134|10.2.0.99||doylebrunson|procs|1283969139|clear||clear|1238886095|0||0||1283967339

1662 status doylebrunson.procs clear Wed Sep 8 12:35:33 CDT 2010 - Processes NOT ok

1663 &clear No process checks defined

then you should have HOST=doylebrunson and not the FQDN

This should be from the client running on the hobbit server.

I’m having a hard time determining what configuration file to modify for the client that runs on the server itself. Basically, I want to start monitoring PROCs. After some hunting (there are too many configuration files with the words “client” and “local”), I thought I found the proper file “hobbits-client*s*.cfg and added the following:

HOST=thishost.domain.com

PROC beremote 1

you could watch the status channel to see what the name of the host as sent by the client running on your hobbit server using either `cat' or `hobbitd_capture'

bbcmd hobbitd_channel --channel=status hobbitd_capture --hosts=<hostname> --tests=procs

-OR-

bbcmd hobbitd_channel --channel=status cat

(wonder if I could have used “localhost”)

Yet, I’m still not getting PROC monitoring

(Oh, I’m still on hobbit 4.2)
