If you're running bbproxy, you should not be running the hobbitd task. The [hobbitd] task runs ONLY on the real Hobbit server - not on proxy servers, network testers, clients or any other box.
Hmm, if that's the case, why does hobbitlaunch.cfg have:
[bbnet] ENVFILE /usr/lib/hobbit/server/etc/hobbitserver.cfg NEEDS hobbitd CMD bbtest-net --report --ping --checkresponse LOGFILE $BBSERVERLOGS/bb-network.log INTERVAL 5m
Should the "NEEDS hobbitd" be removed?
Yes, or replaced with "NEEDS bbproxy".
In my case, I want to use one "monitoring" server in a network as proxy and network tester, and I wouldn't mind having a display on it too (eg, in the DR site).
Then you must setup the hobbitd process to listen on a separate IP (e.g. 127.0.0.1) so it doesn't conflict with bbproxy listening on the same port.
I was running hobbitd on a different port, with bbproxy sending to the local hobbitd as well as the one on the main display:
[hobbitd] HEARTBEAT ENVFILE /usr/lib/hobbit/server/etc/hobbitserver.cfg CMD hobbitd --pidfile=$BBSERVERLOGS/hobbitd.pid --restart=$BBTMP/hobbitd.chk --chec kpoint-file=$BBTMP/hobbitd.chk --checkpoint-interval=600 --log=$BBSERVERLOGS/hobbitd.log -- admin-senders=127.0.0.1,$BBSERVERIP --listen=0.0.0.0:1985
[bbproxy] ENVFILE /usr/lib/hobbit/server/etc/hobbitserver.cfg CMD $BBHOME/bin/bbproxy --hobbitd --bbdisplay=127.0.0.1:1985,10.10.9.32:1984 --report=$MACHINE.bbproxy --pidfile=$BBSERVERLOGS/bbproxy.pid
But then bbgen on the proxy complains: hobbitd status-board not available
And the display on the proxy has no hosts at all (just pages, all-green).
