Hi Henrik,
thanks for the help and the fast reply! But one more question: Even though the client doesn't send new data, is it possible that the server displays the old data if you click on the "Full log /var/adm/messages" link (or any other log) on the page "...bb-hostsvc.sh?HOST=lbsdb&SERVICE=msgs"? Is the data still available on the server or is it overwritten each time the client sends something? If so, I'd like to modify hobbit in a way that each time a new log arrives at the server this is stored somewhere else and we would make it available with a link. Could you indicate the files to edit for that purpose? Or perhaps, if there is already a command for cutting the section code out from a clients message we could trigger that each time a client sends something new.
This would be helpful to monitor logs manually. Reason: We often have customers demands' to look for special entries in (application)logs which don't trigger a yellow or red alarm. These logs are spread all over the machines and we hope to get a single point of entry for all logs using hobbit.
kind regards Rolf
The logfile monitor only includes the last 30 minutes of data from the logfile. It does this by tracking where it last read from the logfile; you have:
On the client the tmp-files are: wiesel bb> cat logfetch.wiesel.status /var/adm/messages:654:654:654:654:654:654:654
meaning that for the past 7 runs of the Hobbit client, the logfile was 654 bytes. If it doesn't grow, no data is sent to Hobbit.
And before you ask: No, there is currently no configuration option which lets you can change that interval of 30 minutes.
Regards, Henrik
