cleint not reporting to hobbit server
Greetings,
I have this one linux client that is not reporting 'disk', 'cpu', 'ssh' and the custom external script raid-monitor to the hobbit server.
What is reporting is 'conn', 'info', and 'trends'.
I installed the client with 'apt-get install hobbit-client' on a ubuntu server.
On the hobbitclient.log, it indicates: 2014-08-12 09:16:27 Cannot determine IP address of message recipient 10.218.275.25 2014-08-12 09:16:27 Whoops ! bb failed to send message - Cannot resolve hostname /usr/lib/hobbit/client/bin/hobbitclient-linux.sh: 43: who: Permission denied /usr/lib/hobbit/client/bin/hobbitclient-linux.sh: 55: /sbin/ifconfig: Permission denied /usr/lib/hobbit/client/bin/hobbitclient-linux.sh: 64: /sbin/ifconfig: Permission denied 2014-08-12 09:21:27 Cannot determine IP address of message recipient 10.218.275.25 2014-08-12 09:21:27 Whoops ! bb failed to send message - Cannot resolve hostname
On the clientlaunch.log, it indicates, 2014-08-12 08:51:18 hobbitlaunch starting 2014-08-12 08:51:18 Loading tasklist configuration from /etc/hobbit/clientlaunch.cfg 2014-08-12 08:51:18 Task raid-monitor terminated, status 2
On the hobbit server in the /etc/hobbit/bb-hosts, it indicates: xxx..xxx.xxx.xxx server01 #raid
Will somebody lead me in the right direction, thanks in advance.

Who owns all of the files?
It would probably be easier to compile it, starting from scratch.

So why are you using such an old client on a new install?
Did you edit the ~hobbit/client/etc/hobbitclient.cfg file and put the IP address of your server in the BBDISP field?
The errors are telling us that the client can't talk to the hobbit server.
Seriously consider upgrading to xymon 4.3 something.

Thanks Paul -- I added BBDISP="ip address" to the hobbitclient.cfg and that did the trick.
I'm using an old client because it is what is available from the default repository when I do a 'apt-get install blah'.
My superiors wants to keep it this way for future updates to work flawlessly.
I'm assuming if it is in the unbuntu default repository it was QAed and tested -- correct me if I am wrong.

I don't use Ubuntu in general. I have it on a raspberry pi, but that's about it. There has got to be a more up todate repository.

Hello, I'm not sure which version of Ubuntu you are using but up to Ubuntu 13.10 (Saucy) only hobbit-client 4.2.0 is available in ubuntu repositories. This has been replaced by xymon-client 4.3.7 in Ubuntu 14.04. As for the later upgrades - the xymon package should recognize that hobbit was installed on the server before and migrate the settings, but I'm not sure whether it migrates any custom extension scripts (in case that you use any). Also the IP address of hobbit/xymon server can be configured in /etc/default/hobbit-client (/etc/default/xymon-client respectively) instead of changing BBDISP variable in hobbitclient.cfg.
Regards, Martin
