The client did not report any logfile data
This probably means that your client doesn't know to report the file data back to the Xymon server. Is your client host configured to run in central mode? Assuming it is, check the Hobbit temp directory (on the client host) for two files, one called logfetch.<hostname>.cfg and the other called logfetch.<hostname>.status. The "status" file should have an entry for your messages file. The "cfg" file should have the entire hobbit-clients.cfg section associated with this host (including comments and blank lines).
Note that it can take up to 15 minutes for changes in hobbit-clients.cfg to be reflected in these two files.
If you have neither of these files, you might be running in client mode rather than central mode. Or there might be an error in your hobbitclient.log file.
Once these files are looking OK, the messages file details should start showing up in your client data. On any network test page, click on the [Client data] link at the bottom of the page, and then search for a "msgs" section like this:
[msgs:/var/log/messages] Jun 2 14:39:27 servername kernel: It's cold in here Jun 2 14:43:62 servername sendmail: Go install postfix
