I was able to have log file reporting under Big Brother and the df-msgstab would tell what to alert on. Is that functionality gone in Hobbit?

The client did not report any logfile data
You can find the perl script I am using as an extension (run from clientlaunch.cfg on clients, hobbitlaunch.cfg on the hobbit server) attached. It retreives the bb-msgstab file from the hobbit server on each run, and drops the result in $BBTMP/hobbit_msgs. You'd need to add something like this to the client script:
if [ -r $BBTMP/hobbit_msgs ]; then echo "[msgs]";cat $BBTMP/hobbit_msgs;fi
Lines in the bb-msgs tab follow (more or less) the convention from the extension script at deadcat.net, but I'm not doing well-quoted parsing of regex's, so don't put spaces in the regex's to match on, eg:
somehost: /var/log/messages : : Security.Warning : error :
It scans the whole log file on every run, so rotate your logs!
