Henrik and Charles J.,
OK, that's great. I thought I was missing something in my config. And I will look at deadcat next for logging tools for the server side. In reading your replies, I just figured out the MSG.txt file. It is called from the procs column from a link at the bottom of that page. So that clears up my hobbitclient "no data from client" thought. Really, I just needed a slight kick from you guys to figure it out.
Thanks for the quick responses.
Todd

I have been testing my Hobbit server [4.1.2p1] for a number of weeks now. Its working great so far with my test criteria. I am wondering how do I fix the service "msgs" that continues to stay clear on my hobbit server. The status message is reporting the following: "No log data available; The client did not report any logfile data." All other tests are working.
The hobbit client currently does not do any logfile checking, hence it reports a "No log data" and a clear status for the "msgs" column.
If you must have logfile monitoring now, either look for a script on www.deadcat.net (I think there are some), or implement your own check and add it to the client/bin/hobbitclient-OSNAME.sh script so it generates a "[msgs]" section with the stuff you want in the "msgs" status column. Hobbit will pick up any "&clear", "&red" or "&yellow" items you put in there, and change the color of the status accordingly.
I have noticed a runclient.sh in the client folder but don't see where its launched or referenced in the cfg files at this point. Would this be the piece I am missing in my configuration? It appears to be producing the data but its not going to the display. So any input is appreciated.
"runclient.sh" is the startup script for a client-only installation. It is not used on the Hobbit server, where the hobbitclient.sh script is run via the hobbitlaunch.cfg file.
