I solved the problem patching bbcombotest.c

in this part of code

hobbitdresult = sendmessage("hobbitdboard fields=hostname,testname,color", NULL, BBTALK_TIMEOUT, sres); if ((hobbitdresult != BB_OK) || (board == NULL)) { board = ""; *errptr += sprintf(*errptr, "Could not access hobbitd board, error %d\n", hobbitdresult); return COL_CLEAR; }

board is always null

so I patched the code with the following one that eliminate board null check

hobbitdresult = sendmessage("hobbitdboard fields=hostname,testname,color", NULL, BBTALK_TIMEOUT, sres); if ((hobbitdresult != BB_OK)) { board = ""; *errptr += sprintf(*errptr, "Could not access hobbitd board, error %d\n", hobbitdresult); return COL_CLEAR; } hope it helps

I can't able to use bbcombotest on xymon 4.3.0 beta2 running on a CentOS 5.3 64bit

whatever I put on bbcombotest.cfg, I get clear color and an error dumped on the web page that says:

Errors occurred during evaluation: Could not access hobbitd board, error 0

the color is 'clear' and the check dowsn't work

running by hand hobbitboard it seems to work, for example:

/opt/xymon/server/bin/bb 11.113.1.165 'hobbitdboard fields=hostname,testname,color'

works

it seems a problem on bbcombotest.c when it calls sendmessage

the lines involved in the errors seems to be

hobbitdresult = sendmessage("hobbitdboard fields=hostname,testname,color", NULL, BBTALK_TIMEOUT, sres); if ((hobbitdresult != BB_OK) || (board == NULL)) { board = ""; *errptr += sprintf(*errptr, "Could not access hobbitd board, error %d\n", hobbitdresult); return COL_CLEAR; }
