If you look at the "hobbitd" status for your Hobbit server, you may find a list of "Ghost reports".
If you do, then that could mean the clients are reporting hostnames that Hobbit doesn't recognize.
If that's the case you can do one of two things: 1 - modify the registry setting on each client to match the hostname in bb-hosts: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\BBWin] "hostname"="%computername%.yourdomain.com"
2 - add the "CLIENT" tag to the end of your windows clients in bb-hosts. 0.0.0.0 win-server.yourdomain.com # CLIENT:WIN-SERVER
Hope that helps. Andy

Hello... now that I've got Hobbit running, I'm trying to get my Windows clients talking to it. Where does the data from the Windows client go when it comes into the server? I found an msg. file on the client that had all the correct info... I'm assuming that gets transferred by bbwin to the server. The client's cfg file is pointing to the server and I'm able to telnet to port 1984 on the server from the system running the client, so I'm suspecting something's up on the server side. The event log on the Win32 client shows that the various dlls have successfully loaded with no errors. Also nothing unusual appears in the logs on the server. What I get is just the connection, info, and trend - no CPU, ram, and other stats. I've modified the hobbit-clients.cfg file to include:
HOST=%win.* #Windows hosts LOAD 80 90 # Load thresholds in % DISK C 50 80 # Hard drive (can be drive or share) MEMPHYS 90 100 MEMSWAP 90 95 MEMACT 90 97 PORT "LOCAL=%([.:]135)$" state=LISTENING TEXT=rpc PROC BBWin.exe 1 1 PROC svchost.exe 3 4 LOG %.* %.*error.* COLOR=yellow
Thanks!
