I have tried to search on the xymon archives page for a solution but the search is not work. Is there a way to get rid of ghost clients in hobbit. I have treid the drop command but it still stays on the hobbitd page.
Thanks

On second thought is this a ghost client as reported by the server daemon? This means a client is sending data to the server but the server didn't have a matching host in bb-hosts. On Nov 30, 2010 12:05 AM, "Josh Luthman" <josh at imaginenetworksllc.com> wrote:

Yes I think the server was in the bb-host file but was replaced by something else.

Sounds to me like you need to delete the files.

That's old BB knowledge. Xymon doesn't use files for any live data, only historical data. See my previous response - there is probably a client running on the now-deleted-from-bb-hosts server.
And if you do want to delete files, then sending a "drop" command for the host is a much cleaner way. And it makes sure all files are dropped.

Ahh, thanks for the clarification. Obviously I have some BB blood left. On Nov 30, 2010 6:23 AM, "Henrik Størner" <henrik at hswn.dk> wrote:

I did a find for the files but I find no files that reference the ghost clients host name. Is there any other way i can remove them.

If they show up in the hobbitd test, the problem is not that there are any files. The problem is that a client is sending data using a hostname that is not in bb-hosts. You need to fix this on the client, either disable the client or configure it to use the correct hostname.

Easy: Make sure they are defined in the hosts.cfg file (bb-hosts if you're not on 4.3.0-beta3). If it's already there but with a different name - e.g. you have the FQDN in bb-hosts, but the client is reporting with a plain hostname without the domain - then use the "CLIENT:<alias>" definition to match the two.
Or stop the client running on the server that you don't want to monitor.
