I am trying to do this same thing, but nothing I put in hobbit-clients.cfg on the server seems to take any effect. Is there something I have to do to get hobbit to re-read this file?

Almost right, put the "DISK * IGNORE" line last instead of first. First match wins in Hobbit, so you should have the most specific entries first, and the more generic (default) ones last.

Thanks for the test command. That does help. I do see some changes taking effect, but I am still not getting what I wanted though. I put the following lines in my hobbit-clients.cfg file.

HOST=www-test2 DISK /boot 85 90 DISK * IGNORE

When I ran bbcmd hobbitd_client --test I got the following output.

[root at 050halpnode2 bin]# ./bbcmd hobbitd_client --test 2007-07-12 10:36:43 Using default environment file /mnt/hobbit/server/etc/hobbitserver.cfg Hostname (.=end, ?=dump, !=reload) []: www-test2 Test (cpu, mem, disk, proc): disk Filesystem: / Yellow at 0K, red at 95% Hostname (.=end, ?=dump, !=reload) [www-test2]: Test (cpu, mem, disk, proc): disk Filesystem: /boot Yellow at 92%, red at 97% Hostname (.=end, ?=dump, !=reload) [www-test2]:

Shouldn't it say / is ignored instead of Yellow at OK, red 95%? I guess I should also state that I am running hobbit 4.2-alfa-20060423. I am seeing this behavior because I'm running an alfa ver and need to upgrade?

Thanks for any help or advice you can provide.

hobbitd_client should reload this file every 10 minutes, if there are any changes to it. You can also do a "kill -HUP PID" with the process-ID of the hobbitd_client process to force a reload.

But try the "--test" mode first. Like this:

$ bbcmd hobbitd_client --test Hostname (.=end, ?=dump, !=reload) []: myhost Hosttype []: Test (cpu, mem, disk, proc, log, port): disk Filesystem: / Yellow at 85%, red at 90% Hostname (.=end, ?=dump, !=reload) [myhost]: Test (cpu, mem, disk, proc, log, port): disk Filesystem: /backup Ignored

This is with the following config:

DISK    / 85 90
DISK    * IGNORE
