Hello,

I'm having a problem with getting a hobbit client to change status of 'MSGS' to Red if Hobbit finds the word "error" in /var/log/messages.

A few things to note:

• The Client *can* transmit data to the hobbit server for all other statuses(memory, procs, disk, etc..) without any problems
• The ''hobbit'' account does have read access to /var/log/messages
• The Client launches Hobbit with the ''-local'' option to allow use of localclients.cfg
• I've frequently ran ''logger -p" to force the word ''error'' into /var/log/messages.
• The hostname matches what's in bb-hosts and the config files on both client and server
• Linux client and server

*Here is what I have in /home/hobbit/client/etc/localclient.cfg on the Hobbit Client:*

DEFAULT UP 1h LOAD 5.0 10.0 DISK * 90 95 MEMPHYS 100 101 MEMSWAP 50 80 MEMACT 90 97

LOG /var/log/messages error COLOR=red ##This does not work PROC "/opt/openfiler/sbin/opendev" 1 2 yellow ##This works fine

*Here is what I have in /home/hobbit/server/etc/client-local.cfg on the Hobbit Server:*

[linux] log:/var/log/messages:10240

*And here is what I have in /home/hobbit/server/etc/hobbit-clients.cfg on the Hobbit Server:*

UP 1h LOAD 5.0 10.0 DISK * 90 95 SWAP 20 40 MEMPHYS 100 101 MEMSWAP 50 80 MEMACT 90 97 LOG /var/log/messages error COLOR=red HOST=gsxxx.xxxxxi.com

And yet I cannot get the status of MSGS to go to Red for the client when I put 'error' into /var/log/messages

Thanks,
