[hobbit] Accessing "client data" from a server side ext script? (Re: [hobbit] Alerting on number of times a keyword appers in a logfile?)

Use CLIENT side. Much easier. Don't try to leverage what the client is already doing.

Subject: [hobbit] Accessing "client data" from a server side ext

script? (Re: [hobbit] Alerting on number of times a keyword appers in a logfile?)

After searching the Hobbit mailing list, I believe the answer to

this question is "no". All I found is mention of how Henrik first created the linecount functionality (http://www.hswn.dk/hobbiton/2006/06/msg00084.html).

So it looks like I will have to implement this myself.  I'm

thinking this would be easiest to do as a server side ext script, rather than client, since I am using the linecount option, the hobbit client is already sending the number of times the keyword appears in the client data. Here's a snippet of my client data message for a particular host:

[linecount:/apps/apache/logs/access_main_log]
SessionTimeouts: 1683
So I guess my question is now, how can I access client data for

a host from a server side ext script? I tried doing a recursive grep for "Session" in the data and tmp directories, and found nothing?
