It is in the 4.2.2 release but patching instructions are available on the BBWin website. It is very simple...

cd hobbit* Wget patch patch -p0 bbwin_*patch

Do you have the configuration on the bbwin client for centralization mode?

I have 4.2.2 installed (yesterday download off of sourceforge..

Its not working in central mode but it is working if the client has all the dll files included and all the different monitoring attributes set in its config file...

I don't have a Windows machine to confirm this but I'm guessing these two lines are right and what make it work:

<setting name="bbdisplay" value="X.X.X.X" /> ... <setting name="mode" value="central" />

I may not have bbwin client installed but I'm pretty sure even that client needs a bbdisplay specified =)

First thing to check is if the data from the Windows client makes it to the Hobbit server at all. If you look at the "conn" status, does it have a "Client data available" link just above the ping-time graph ? If not, then your Hobbit client data is not reaching the Hobbit server - in that case you should check if the Windows box is listed in the "Ghost clients" report (it could be using a different hostname), or if there's a firewall blocking traffic on port 1984 between the Hobbit server and your Windows box (from the Windows box, try to run a "telnet X.X.X.X 1984" from a command prompt).
