Problem with multiple display servers and hobbit.
Hiya.
I am having a bit of a problem with multiple display servers and hobbit.
I have a central server that is accessable from the internet and I have a couple of servers here and there to monitor devices for me.
The devices can't send information to the central server, only the local server at each location.
I configured each local server to have two bb displays in hobbitserver.cfg. (See below)
General settings
BBPORT="1984" # Portnumber where hobbitd/bbd listens BBDISP="0.0.0.0" # IP of a single hobbit/bbd server BBDISPLAYS="$BBSERVERIP 11.11.11.11" # IP of multiple hobbit/bbd servers. If used, BBDISP must be 0.0.0.0
The second IP address is a fake one on purpose, however in my config it is real.
And in the hobbitlaunch.cfg file the line that runs the daemon is the following.
[hobbitd] ENVFILE /usr/lib/hobbit/server/etc/hobbitserver.cfg CMD hobbitd --pidfile=$BBSERVERLOGS/hobbitd.pid --restart= $BBTMP/hobbitd.chk --checkpoint-file=$BBTMP/hobbitd.chk --checkpoint-interval=50 --log=$BBSERVERLOGS/hobbitd.log --admin-senders=127.0.0.1 --store-clientlogs=!msgs
This also is all good afaik.
When I look at the local server, the conn status and everything is good all the time. However when I look at the central server the conn tab is good for 4 minutes or so and then every server that has a local server is down for 1.
Has anyone experienced this problem and/or knows a solution to this?
With regards, Sigurður Guðbrandsson.
You need to alter the bbnet section to:
[bbnet] ENVFILE /usr/local/hobbit/server/etc/hobbitserver.cfg CMD $BBHOME/bin/net-test.sh LOGFILE $BBSERVERLOGS/bb-network.log INTERVAL 5m
Make net-test.sh under $BBHOME/bin/ code follows:
#!/bin/sh export BBDISP=<EXTERNAL IP> $bbhome/bin/bbtest-net --report --ping --checkresponse --dns=ip
Hope this helps, Jason.

Hi. Thanks for the reply.
This however seems not to be the solution to my problem.
I configured the isolated hobbit servers to act as proxies and tested this solution of yours both with and without being a proxy and it did not work in either way.
Does anyone have a clue as to what is going on and/or know how to fix this?
