Hey,
I'm having a minor issue with the logging functionality of hobbit. I have a log file that is rolled daily and, as such, has a date embedded. I've tried adding the entry like:
log:/path/to/file_
date +%Y.%m.%d.log:10240I got the impression from the docs and Henrik's site that this should be possible. What am I missing?
You can... but I think you can only do one or the other, not mix it. A
literal, or the whole thing a command in backquotes.
Perhaps if you try something like:
log:date +'/path/to/file_%Y.%m.%d.log':10240
The file must be readable by the Hobbit user for monitoring to work, of course. -Alan
I do something like the following for some servers, and it works, maybe you can adapt the concept to your needs: log:`find /path/to/location -maxdepth 1 -name '
