Sorry if this is obvious but have you tried this using just the HOST=hostname to make sure it is working?

I'm running Hobbit 4.2.0 with the allinone patch on hpux and can't get the FILE monitor to work. I've added the required file: entry in the client-local.cfg for the host, then put the FILE directive in the hobbit-clients.cfg file. After adding the monitor, the BBDISPLAY picks up the new file and shows it as 'green'. When testing the monitor by changing the mtime of my file, hobbit doesn't alert on the change.
Here's my hobbit-client.cfg entry:
CLASS=classname FILE /etc/sudoers yellow mtime<600
I was able to solve this one by changing "CLASS=" to "HOSTCLASS=" in the hobbit-clients.cfg. Once I did that everything worked as expected.
Sorry, spoke too soon. I didn't wait long enough between hobbit- clients.cfg changes. HOSTCLASS= did nothing and isn't valid syntax. A change prior to HOSTCLASS= was HOST=hostname and that's what solved it. Not sure why, but I can't get it to pick up with the CLASS=classname entry.
