Is there a way to force the Hobbit clients to update their data to the server? Often times I'll be adding new process checks or otherwise modifying existing tests, and would like to be able to see their status updated on the Hobbit server.
Right now, that means waiting 5 minutes for the client to get the new/updated checks, and then waiting another 5 minutes for it to report back to the server. However, I *don't* have any reason/need to adjust this time globally. I would like to force an update only once in a while, when making changes to the client tests. Is there currently any way to do this?
The easiest way would be to restart the Hobbit client a couple of times; each time it starts, it will contact the server so doing it twice will fetch the new config from client-local.cfg, and send in a status with these changes in them.
It's probably also a good idea to do a "kill -HUP" on the hobbitd and hobbitd_client processes on the Hobbit server, to make sure that they have the latest config files loaded. Do that before you bounce the client.
