I do not have "bbd" running, is this started under hobbit-client or hobbit-server? Does this run as a daemon, or periodically?

Thanks!

The column "conn" should be on every host with a ping test. What is your bb-hosts?

The column "bbd" should be on the first entry - that's the process that gets everything rolling. If this isn't running then you have a problem, so see if it's running.

Hello;

I am running two versions of Xymon, 4.3.0-0.beta2 & 4.2.2. The newer, albeit "beta" version, shows fewer columns on its display versus the 4.2.2 version. The columns not shown under 4.3.0-0.beta2 are:

bbd

conn

http

ssh

svcs

Must I enable these somewhere? I am pretty certain that my bb-hosts file is the same on the new server as it is on the older one.

Thank you,

It runs on the hobbit/Xymon server and is the main place that clients connect to the server to send status information to the server. As far as http and ssh is concerned, both of these require tags in the bb-hosts file to start testing and produce a column.

I've got this in my bb-hosts, same as my other server: 192.168.1.100   xymonitor1.example.net     # BBPAGER BBNET BBDISPLAY bbd http://192.168.1.100/ ssh

Also, in my hobbit-clients.cfg (not sure if it is needed there for my server)

HOST=xymonitor1.example.net

        PROC httpd 1 PROC cron 1 -1 yellow PROC httpd 1 -1 yellow PROC hobbitd 5 PROC %^hobbitd_history 1 -1 yellow "TEXT=Hobbit history" PROC %^hobbitd_rrd 2 -1 yellow "TEXT=Hobbit RRD" PROC hobbitd PROC hobbitlaunch PROC sshd DIR /opt/admin/xymon/Linux/current/log TRACK #       DIR %^/var/log TRACK IGNORE=httpd,audit,samba,ppp PORT LOCAL=%[\.:]80 STATE=ESTABLISHED min=0 TRACK=http TEXT=web FILE /bin/su md5=2xb04acec4f26ea7b20d000e4931d FILE %^/var/log/maillog.* TRACK=maillog LOG /var/log/maillog DB_RUNRECOVERY COLOR=red

Can anyone else running 4.3.0-0.beta2 please confirm that they are not having the same issues as I?

Thanks,

One more thing, my setup is designed to have two Xymon servers.  I recall bbd and conn being disabled on the standby server, but I've not configured standby/active as of yet.

By the way, on my "info" icon for my xymon server, I see:

Other tags:bbd ssh

The icons however do not appear anywhere...

Thanks again,
