This is my first attempt at installing a hobbit client on a Linux box, and I'm attempting to install it on the same box that the server is running on.
I have the client running, but the only items reported are bbgen, bbtest, conn, hobbitd, info and trends. I want information on disk and CPU utilization. Is this possible?
Is it possible to combine the client/server information? Right now I'm getting two lnes:
subpage Hobbit Hobbit Server 127.0.0.1 Hobbit.domain.com # bbd ssh ftp http://DoyleBrunson.ailife.com/ apache=http://thisserver.domain.com/server-status?auto TRENDS:*,apache:apache|apache1|apache2|apache3 10.2.0.99 Hobbit #
Also, I'm getting the following in msg.Hobbit.txt:

There really shouldn't be a need to run the client and server on the same machine.

Yes. See below for an example of my bb-hosts file for this purpose.

Where 1.2.3.4 is the public IP of the hobbit machine. In my case, the physical machine is called something different than the URL used to get to the Hobbit display page, hence the CLIENT: option. This shouldn't be necessary in your case.
Also, I'm getting the following in msg.Hobbit.txt:

You have to change the permissions on /var/log/messages so it is group readable by whatever group Hobbit is running as. I believe the default linux perms are 644 root:root, so you'll need something like 644 root:hobbit.
"There really shouldn't be a need to run the client and server on the same machine."
Actually, I think the client is not *required* on the server, but it is pretty handy. When you launch the server, the client runs too, or else you would not get those statistics about CPU, memory, disk, etc. It takes some work to disable it.

True, the startup script for the server process also starts the client. What I meant is that there is no need to also run the client startup script separately. You can also have the server run local external scripts just like the client. So in short, there is no need to go into the HOBBITHOME/client directories.
