Have you configured your client(s) for server-side or client-side configuration ?
I have it set up on different machines, in different configurations trying to find the one that works.
Ok, let's pick ONE machine and get that to work. Preferably one where the client is configured for server-side configuration. Verify this by looking at the "conn" status - you must have a "Client data available" link right above the graph. If there's no link, then the client isn't sending a Hobbit "client" message, but just the old-style BB messages.
I'll assume this client system is called "testhost.foo.com". Your client-local.cfg (on the hobbit server) should then have
[testhost.foo.com]
log:/var/log/messages:10240
trigger NOTICE
trigger WARNING
log:/var/log/secure:10240
ignore "Connection closed by"
trigger BREAKINChanges to client-local.cfg can take up to 15 minutes to trickle down to the client. You can speed this up by 1) sending a HUP signal to the hobbitd process on the Hobbit server, and then 2) restarting the Hobbit client software. After restarting the client, it takes 5 minutes for the changes to take effect.
Your hobbit-clients.cfg - also on the Hobbit server - must have these lines:
HOST=testhost.foo.com
LOG /var/log/messages WARNING COLOR=yellow
LOG /var/log/messages NOTICE COLOR=red
LOG /var/log/secure BREAKINYou can test the configuration on the Hobbit server with the "hobbitd_client --test" command. Like this:
$ bbcmd hobbitd_client --test

If this doesn't make your msgs column go red, then I'd like to have a look at the bb-hosts entry for this host, and your client-local.cfg and hobbit-clients.cfg files. You can send them directly to me, no need to bother the entire mailing list with them.
