On your hobbit server -
set up etc/client-local.cfg to reference the logs you want AND any exclusions. For AIX, I have: [aix] log:/var/log/syslog:10240 ignore 3004-004 ignore 3004-035 ignore 3004 log:/var/log/console.log:10240 log:/var/log/dsmsched.log:10240
set up etc/hobbit-clients.cfg to create your alerting criteria. For AIX, I've got these set: HOST=%.* LOG /var/log/syslog %.*crit.su.*to.root red LOG /var/log/syslog %.*crit.su yellow LOG %/var/(adm|log)/console.log %.*not.responding.still.trying yellow
Change client-local.cfg first. Allow 15 to 20 minutes for this to propagate to the client; look for a file called logfetch.<hostname>.cfg in client/tmp. This should match your entries in client-local.cfg.
Once the logs sart coming in, play with the client-local.cfg and a test system, to track what you're interested in.

Hi once again
Hello,
I've posted a couple of month but after hours & hours of tests, I still can't check logs with Hobbit. I'm running a Hobbit server on Linux Ubuntu and a Hobbit client with 'client side configuration' on Ubuntu or RHEL.
On my client computer called "Suspendisse" : $ cat localclient.cfg ... # LOG LOG /var/log/messages MARK COLOR=RED ... $
I re-up this topic because I can't find a way to monitor any log files with Hobbit on any clients (Linux, AIX, Solaris) Is there an example somewhere I can follow (I already man'ed and google'd).
Thanks by advance
