**Caution-External**: RE: [hobbit] monitor files,log msgs,

Unless I'm mistaken, it usually only grabs the content for about 30 minutes after the last trigger. So, if you can make it turn red, you should see something, otherwise, I believe it will appear empty. It'd be nice if this were configurable.

HI, Thanks. It worked.

      Is there any way to display contents of file or it displays only size, timestamp, file type, permissions. When I made following entry on client-local.cfg

file:ls -l -t /var/adm/sa/sar*:4096

it outputs

When I click on any one of the lick it outputs

[file:-rw-r--r-- 1 sys sys 118298 Feb 1 18:05 /var/adm/sa/sar01] ERROR: No such file or directory

But file is there. Do I have to change or add anything to display the contents of sar file or it checks only size, timestamp, permission etc.

Your client-local.cfg syntax is wrong. client-local tells hobbit what to upload, hobbit-client tells Hobbit how to use what it uploaded. You have the two files configured the same, which is wrong. Also, you don't need anything on the client side if you're running Hobbit in the typical manner. The client-local.cfg data is downloaded from the server to the client automatically.

Try something more like this:

Client-local.cfg [nj1db200pt] file:/home/monitor/test file:/var/log/ log:/var/adm/messages:4096 The default copies of all these files are commented heavily at the top showing all this syntax.
