I only use the logfiles when I have a problem with Hobbit. Which is very rare. If I'm having a problems, I shut the server down, wipe out all the server logfiles (except notifications and acknowledgements), then restart the server to generate new logfiles. I do the same thing on the client end if I'm having a problem with a client. I have found no use for the logfiles during non-problem times (except for server notifications and acknowledgements). I just let the logfiles grow and grow until I encounter some problem. I have plenty of disk space in my implementations. You may not have the space in yours, so you may need to use logrotate. Logrotate is certainly the preferred way to go - I'm just lazy and haven't implemented it for Hobbit.

Hi!
The Hobbit client feed, at least on Unix/Linux, some log files in "~hobbit/client/log/" I would like to have feedbacks about the size of them. Are you using logrotate to keep them small or something else? Are they growing up enough to take care about them ?
Thanks by advance!
