The syslog messages are from bootpd. Does this client use DHCP or something to get an IP address?
Why are you running hobbit as root? It is supposed to be run as a non-privileged user on the client. I don't know that that would make much difference, other than the root user may not have the right environment variables defined.
The hobbitclient.log is where you would expect to see messages about communications problems.

Here is a list of the log files on the client along with their location. There is nothing but Hobbit launch info in the clientlaunch.log file and nothing in the other one.

There are just two hosts in the bb-hosts file, this one and the server. They are correct.
I checked the syslog and see a number of these messages from just this morning.

Hobbit debugging 101 commences, I guess. There should be some log files in client/log -- look them over. There aren't many.
How many hosts are there in your bb-hosts? Could this system have been given the wrong name or something like that? You also might look at the server logs too.
I am not much of a Hobbit expert, but others on the list are...

I confirmed that there were no hosts listed in the Ghost clients report. I also checked twice that the client was running and I was able to telnet to <Hobbitserver> 1984.
Is there anything else I can check.

I have the hobbit client running on HPUX 11.11 and I can see three tests (conn, info, and trends). I have added the following to the hobbit-clients.cfg file on the server.
HOST=dione.namerica.idexxi.com UP 1h LOAD 2.8 4.0 DISK * 85 95
Which appears before the defaults keyword.
I restarted both the server and the client but still do not see the UP LOAD and DISK columns.
Sounds like you haven't got the Hobbit client running on that server, or at least - it isn't reporting into Hobbit with the right hostname.
Check the "Reports->Ghost clients" report and see if your host is listed there - it will be, if the client uses a different hostname than what you have in bb-hosts. In that case, put a CLIENT:clientname entry in bb-hosts so Hobbit knows how to connect the two names.
If it's not in the Ghost client list, then you must check if the client is running at all, and if it can connect to the Hobbit server to send data (from the client, run "telnet HOBBITHOST 1984" and see if it will connect).
BTW, there won't be an UP or LOAD column - these data are presented as part of the "cpu" status.
And there's no need to restart anything when changing this configuration.
