Hi there,
First of all, let me say - Hobbit is great! I set aside some hours yesterday to get things set up, and it's working really well.
Here's my setup:
Hobbit version 4.1.2p1
BBDISPLAY/BBNET/BBPAGER: Mac OS X 10.3.9 machine Hostname: Gregory-Larkins-Computer.local
Client: RedHat 9 (2.4.20-31.9.progeny.8 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux) Hostname: patches
The one problem I'm having is that I can't get the CPU/disk/procs columns to display for the client I'm monitoring. I double- and triple-checked by bb-hosts, hobbit-clients.cfg, firewall, etc. So far, everything looks good, but there must be a problem somewhere. I've followed the advice here (http://hobbitmon.sourceforge.net/docs/hobbit-tips.html#noclient), but I haven't fixed the problem yet.
Here are the relevant parts of my config files:
**** **** bb-hosts **** **** 192.168.1.240 Gregory-Larkins-Computer.local # BBDISPLAY BBPAGER BBNET bbd http://localhost/ ssh smtp ftp
204.8.45.68 www.sourcehosting.net # CLIENTNAME:patches http://www.sourcehosting.net/
**** **** hobbit-clients.cfg **** **** HOST=Gregory-Larkins-Computer.local PROC named 1 1 PROC /usr/local/sbin/dyndnsd 1 1 PROC ntpd 1 1
HOST=patches LOAD 3.0 5.0
DEFAULT # These are the built-in defaults. UP 1h LOAD 5.0 10.0 DISK * 90 95 MEMPHYS 100 101 MEMSWAP 50 80 MEMACT 90 97
I've checked that messages are getting through the firewall around the BBDISPLAY machine by running strace on the client machine. I also checked the msg.txt file on the client to make sure that the client name is correct:
[hobbit at patches tmp]$ head -5 msg.txt client patches.linux [date] Thu Feb 16 14:26:26 EST 2006 [uname] Linux patches 2.4.20-31.9.progeny.8 #1 Thu Jun 9 22:44:19 EDT 2005 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
The client name looks OK to me, and the messages are getting through the firewall as far as I know.
I ran ktrace on the Mac OS X machine to make sure that the client messages are received, and it looks like they are, but what file should the msg.txt data be written to? I've looked in the data subdirectory, but haven't found it yet. I would guess that's related to my problem.
What other things should I do to troubleshoot this problem?
Thanks very much for a great tool, Greg
