I am trying to get alerting for message files. I have checked the archives, but found nothing in there. I have tried various configurations. The two I have set up with hobbit clients right now are set up, one as a client with the server controlling, the other as a client that pushes its info. Neither seems to work. The client set to push (nodens), does not send any message file data and the indicator stays clear and the comment says: The client did not report any logfile data. On the client set so that the server controls (sirona), there is information for the logs, but nothing triggers a yellow or red.
No entries in /var/log/messages
No entries in /var/log/secure
