msgs and files tests on hobbit clients
Hi
The msgs and files tests from hobbit clients are not working properly on my hobbit display. The tests do go red when they pick up an error but immediately go green again. Entries in the history show a duration time of "none" when the status changes to red.
I want to display the red status for an hour so that errors will be noticed and alerted. The Big Brother client does this by default but I can't get useful monitoring of log files from the hobbit clients because the status only goes red for an instant. Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?
Regards
Stephen Barrie

I have this same problem! There are a list of hosts that this never happens to, in addition. The red hosts never read a minute of red time in the history pages, either.

I was installing 4.2.0 from scratch. I had 4.2.0 beta on the system, and just wanted to get it upgraded.
However I ran into two issues. I did a fresh install, by stopping hobbit and moving the server folder to server-old.
#1 I copied over the www folder, but all the sections, and systems have disappeared.
#2 When I click on anything in the cgi-secure folder, I get an "Internal Server Error"
Now the thing is, if I just upgrade the beta folder, by leaving it there when I run make install, everything works..... Just wondering what is wrong here.
Also when I go to bb2.rss, I get parse errors, but this has always happened: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/hobbit/server/www/bb2.rss on line 1

The www directory is simply output. You want the ~hobbit/data directory for past logs and the ~hobbit/server/etc for configuration.
When you get an Internal Server Error do a tail /var/log/httpd/error_log and post that here.
I've no idea what bb2.rss is =/

bb2.rss...hobbit provides an RSS stream to allow admins to use an RSS reader to 'monitor' their systems instead of calling up the main page all the time. It provides non-green status IIRC...quite nice actually...unless you secure yor site, there are few readers that actually handle logging in properly and even fewer that handle passwords changing regularly.

I had forgotten the hobbitpasswd file. Hence the cgi-secure issues.
And the bb.html page in the www directory was overwriten with a basic page.
Now I feel like an idiot J
Any idea on the parse error?

I know what RSS is, but I've never heard of it relating to Hobbit. Is this something that Hobbit can do out of the box or an addon?

You guys haven't got multiple hosts reporting with the same client name have you?
Nope - you'd get a yellow alert on (I think) hobbitd if that were the case. I had one person put two hosts with the same name and two IPs a few weeks ago.
