*Here is what I have in /home/hobbit/client/etc/localclient.cfg on the Hobbit Client:*

DEFAULT UP 1h LOAD 5.0 10.0 DISK * 90 95 MEMPHYS 100 101 MEMSWAP 50 80 MEMACT 90 97

LOG /var/log/messages error COLOR=red ##This does not work PROC "/opt/openfiler/sbin/opendev" 1 2 yellow ##This works fine

Rule of thumb: ALWAYS keep the default settings last. If you have a rule that applies to a specific host, like this one:

LOG /var/log/messages error COLOR=red HOST=gsxxx.xxxxxi.com

make sure you put that before the DEFAULT settings. If you want it to apply to all Linux hosts, use the CLASS setting:

CLASS=linux LOG /var/log/messages error COLOR=red

Another thing to check: Look at the "Client data" link from any of the current statuses for the host. Near the bottom are the log message data and the log entries - make sure /var/log/messages shows up there, and that the data you expect to see is actually there. Remember, the client only looks at log-entries that have happened in the past 30 minutes.
