The bb-hosts file on .4 (the remote server) has these entries:

192.168.213.4 apollo.tfc.com #bbd http://apollo.tfc.com

192.168.213.6 bomgar # ping http://192.168.213.6

I added these entries into the bb-hosts file on .5 (the main server) this morning

192.168.213.4 apollo.tfc.com #noconn

192.168.213.6 bomgar #noconn

After doing this the messages in hobbitd went away

Hostname 'apollo.tfc.com' in tree, but no host-info

Hostname 'bomgar' in tree, but no host-info

Now my /hobbit/bb.html page shows both "remote" items but has no data on them other then bbproxy, info and trends on .4.

The bbproxy icon on the main servers /hobbit page shows this:

bbproxy for Hobbit version 4.2.0

On .4 hobbitlaunch.cfg I changed all the other services that had NEEDS hobbitd to say NEEDS bbproxy as mentioned in http://www.hswn.dk/hobbiton/2006/08/msg00833.html, but this did not help. What am I missing?

From: Aaron Kincaid Sent: Tuesday, October 30, 2007 1:55 PM To: hobbit at hswn.dk Subject: Issue with bbproxy

Having an issue with bbproxy. I have a main hobbit box 192.168.213.5 and a secondary box that currently has 192.168.213.4 (it will be moved offsite after testing and setup is completed) I want .4 to forward all info to .5, but 4 does not need to display anything locally.

On .4 I have tried various things with no apparent progress. In hobbitlaunch.cfg I disabled hobbitd as instructed and set [bbproxy] up as follows

[bbproxy]

    ENVFILE /usr/lib/hobbit/server/etc/hobbitserver.cfg

    CMD $BBHOME/bin/bbproxy --hobbitd --bbdisplay=192.168.213.5

--report=$MACHINE.bbproxy --pidfile=$BBSERVERLOGS/bbproxy.pid

On the main server .5, I get the following messages under hobbit process

Hostname 'apollo.tfc.com' in tree, but no host-info

Hostname 'bomgar' in tree, but no host-info

Hostname 'apollo.tfc.com' in tree, but no host-info

Hostname 'bomgar' in tree, but no host-info

Hostname 'apollo.tfc.com' in tree, but no host-info

Hostname 'bomgar' in tree, but no host-info

Hostname 'apollo.tfc.com' in tree, but no host-info

Hostname 'bomgar' in tree, but no host-info

Hostname 'apollo.tfc.com' in tree, but no host-info

Hostname 'bomgar' in tree, but no host-info

Hostname 'apollo.tfc.com' in tree, but no host-info

Hostname 'bomgar' in tree, but no host-info

Do I need to do something on .5? I tried adding 'apollo.tfc.com' and 'bomgar' to the bbhosts file on .5 but that appears to have produced resulted in .5 simply checking the hosts out for itself instead of using .4's results.

So, several questions:

1. How to I display the result from .4 on .5?

2. Where will the info appear? On the bb.html page or can I make it appear in one of my existing PAGE groups?

3. In the future can I use --bbdisplay=192.168.213.5 to use the FQDN for when I finally deploy it?

Thanks in advance,
