All,
I have followed the method to add a new column from these links.

However, even after doing the above steps i do not get the new column.
- Is there a way i can debug to find what went wrong?
- Is there a way to know if the client is able to send the data to the hobbit server?
- If the client is able to send the data to the hobbit server, why is it not displaying the new column.
My client side script is running every 5 mins from $BBHOME/ext.
Please assist and let me know if there is any more information required.
Regards, Sanu

Client name is the name like it appears in bb-hosts, the check name will be the new column name.
- Is there a way i can debug to find what went wrong? Dump the bb command you execute in your script to stdout and check for errors.
Try to execute the same command on the command line and check for errors.
- Is there a way to know if the client is able to send the data to the hobbit server? You can search in the data directory of the hobbit server. Each server has a directory in the histlogs directory. In this directory is a sub-directory per check/column.
- If the client is able to send the data to the hobbit server, why is it not displaying the new column. You can also check the ghost client list. There is an option in the top menu.

Thanks Stef,
Here is my script.
#!/bin/sh
COLUMN=foo # Name of the column
COLOR=green # By default, everything is OK
MSG="foo is Down"
MSG1="foo is Good"
COLOR=red
$BB $BBDISP "status $MACHINE.$COLUMN $COLOR date ${MSG}"
sleep 60
COLOR=green
$BB $BBDISP "status $MACHINE.$COLUMN $COLOR date ${MSG1}"
fi
fi
Let me know if the above task is right.
- Is there a way to know if the client is able to send the data to the hobbit server?
You can search in the data directory of the hobbit server. Each server has a directory in the histlogs directory. In this directory is a sub-directory per check/column. There is no sub directory with foo for that server name.
- Is there a way i can debug to find what went wrong?
Dump the bb command you execute in your script to stdout and check for errors. Try to execute the same command on the command line and check for errors. Please help on this.

Try running your script by hand. Run it under the control of bbcmd (usually in the hobbit client bin directory). On unix it would be something like: su hobbit -c "<path-to-hobbit-client-bin>/bbcmd <your script>"
If there is a problem you should see errors there. Also check the logs on the client.

Hi, Sanu !
- Is there a way i can debug to find what went wrong?
- check the logfile of your client-script ( shell or perl ?)
- test the script with
~hobbit/bin/bbcmd sh -x ext/test.sh
or ~hobbit/bin/bbcmd perl -d ext/test.sh
- Is there a way to know if the client is able to send the data to the hobbit server?
on the client:
telnet hobbitserver 1984
on the server: tcpdump -i eth0 host hobbit-client-ip
- If the client is able to send the data to the hobbit server, why is it not displaying the new column.
check on the server what he get from the client
/usr/lib/hobbit/server/bin/bbcmd hobbitd_channel --debug --channel=status hobbitd_capture --hosts=hobbit-client-name/ip
