They're purple because they have not been updated in a while (30m I think?)

1. The server includes the web page building, alerting, etc. It's what you use to view the status of everything. The client simply collects a little bit of data and sends it to the server.
2. Those columns are updated via the client. Install the client and make sure the client and server matches the same hostname and you'll see them being updated.
3. Specify something to make it go green/red, otherwise I believe you have to deal with the white.

HI All,

We are monitoring about 100 hosts using hobbit monitor. it was working fine. but from yesterday onwards I see purple icons for cpu,disk,memory on the webpage. What caused this problem? How can I get this resolved?

Some questions:-

1.   What is the difference between client side client installation (.

   /configure –client selection client during installtion) and server side client installation (selection server option during installation)

2.   For some hosts I don't see CPU, disk, memory status on webpage I

   do see only conn,ssh.how do I get all the status on the webpage

     3) by default I see *files,msgs,ports and procs* status are white

   color. if I don't want to monitor files,msgs,ports and procs how do I get rid of those entries showing on the webpage.basicall I want to see only conn,cpu,disk,info,memory,ssh and trends.

Please get back to me on this?..Thanks in advance.

Thanks

Edit server/etc/hobbitlaunch.cfg navigate to the [clientdata] section. Add to the end of the CMD line: --no-clear-msgs --no-clear-files --no-clear- ports.

see man hobbitd_client for details of these parameters.
