I've now installed hobbit on the production server, and added the clients. Everything looks ok, but the server (defined by default as localhost in bb-hosts) does not seem to monitor its own cpu, disk, memory, ports and processes.
I'm pretty sure my test lab server monitored those by default. Or is there anything specific one should do on the server itself? I may have confused myself...
Thanks.
Hi,
I had the same issue when I installed from RPM's in my case, the actual server was installed but not the client. Hobbit client needs to be installed on the local server to monitor those things. The RPM's I used separated the client and server and I had to install both to get it to work. But this behavior is different when you install from source I believe. Hope this helps.

Assuming that the client was installed with it (I believe there is no way around it, though I could be mistaken) it should be reporting - see if there is something in Ghosts.
The issue is probably that localhost in bb-hosts - the reporting host from the client must match that of the host in bb-hosts.

You need to install (and start) the client on the server.
Check ghosts to see if it is trying to report a different name...

Thanks for the replies to my question.
That’s kinda weird because on my test lab server I most definitely did not install the client - I just double-checked, and it monitored itself quite happily...
Strange, but there you go.

Oh dear - I'm installing hobbit using the rpms which I included in a local yum repository.
When trying to install hobbit-client on the server, the result is:
yum install hobbit-client Loading "security" plugin Setting up Install Process Parsing package install arguments Resolving Dependencies --> Running transaction check ---> Package hobbit-client.i386 0:4.2.0-1 set to be updated --> Processing Conflict: hobbit conflicts hobbit-client --> Processing Conflict: hobbit-client conflicts hobbit --> Finished Dependency Resolution Error: hobbit conflicts with hobbit-client Error: hobbit-client conflicts with hobbit
:(
I guess I'm just going to have to take another real good look at the test lab server and see what I did to get it to monitor itself without having the client installed. I knew I should have written it down as I went along!!

Heeheehee - I just copied over the following from the test lab server to the production server, and now the server is monitoring itself without hobbit-client being installed:
/usr/lib/hobbit/server/etc /var/lib/hobbit
I have no idea why, but will try to figure out exactly what I did.

Ok, so I created a brand new virtual machine (RHEL5) and installed only the hobbit rpm (not the hobbit-client rpm), and it monitors itself (with no configuration changes made at all).
But this doesn't work on a physical server.

Normally it does work on any server. I only have the server installed here and it monitors itself (El4). Try rpm -V hobbit on the broken machine and see if there are missing files. Other than that I have no idea what would cause this problem.

If the package(s) you are installing are properly prepared, the client code will be in /usr/lib/hobbit/client. The server startup will automatically start the client IF the client is installed on the system.
I am confused by the placement in /usr/lib; this doesn't look anything like the Linux Filesystem Hierarchy standard was followed.

:(
I guess I'm just going to have to take another real good look at the test lab server and see what I did to get it to monitor itself without having the client installed. I knew I should have written it down as I went along!!

Thanks for the replies to my question.
That's kinda weird because on my test lab server I most definitely did not install the client - I just double-checked, and it monitored itself quite happily...
Strange, but there you go.

I've now installed hobbit on the production server, and added the clients. Everything looks ok, but the server (defined by default as localhost in bb-hosts) does not seem to monitor its own cpu, disk, memory, ports and processes.
I'm pretty sure my test lab server monitored those by default. Or is there anything specific one should do on the server itself? I may have confused myself...
You need to install (and start) the client on the server.
Check ghosts to see if it is trying to report a different name...
Thanks.
