[hobbit] Problem to check logs with Hobbit

Start with the basics -

As the hobbit user on "Suspendisse", try "less /var/log/messages" to see if the hobbit client can even read the log (I don't know Ubuntu, but RHEL and SUSE both set /var/log/messages to mode 640 by default).

You won't need the 'localclient.cfg' entry on the hobbit server - that only applies to the hobbit client running on the server. But you WILL need a rule in hobbit-alerts.cfg on the server if you want to be alerted when the condition comes up.

Hello,

I've posted a couple of month but after hours & hours of tests, I still can't check logs with Hobbit. I'm running a Hobbit server on Linux Ubuntu and a Hobbit client with 'client side configuration' on Ubuntu or RHEL.

On my client computer called "Suspendisse" : $ cat localclient.cfg ... # LOG LOG /var/log/messages MARK COLOR=RED ... $

For this example, I will go get a red alert when a "MARK" Then, on my Hobbit server called "Fusce" : $ cat hobbit-clients.cfg ... HOST=Suspendisse LOG /var/log/messages MARK COLOR=RED ... $

That's what I've read on the Hobbit man page but it doesn't work. The log doesn't appear on my Hobbit web pages. What I'm doing wrong ?

Thanks by advance,
