Hi Paul,
You will also need an entry in the hobbit-clients.cfg file.
The entry in client-local.cfg tells the hobbit client to check this file and send the details on the file back to the server, where as the one in hobbit-clients.cfg does the evaluation of the data returned from the hobbit client.
It is pretty well documented. Maybe something like ..
HOST=nms.am.my.net FILE /bin/sh yellow TRACK
Hope this helps ..

Hi All,
I a bit of a newbie to hobbit / xymon so please forgive me.
I have been trying to get my hobbit server to monitor a file called /home/xymon/test.txt, so I can log the growth on it, should I append TRACK to it?
I have modified client-local.cfg and added [linux] log:/var/log/messages:10240 file:/home/xymon/test.txt
I have no data in hobbit to show for this what am I doing wrong?
Thanks
