I basically use hobbit 4.2.0 more or less as it comes out of the box and that's been sufficient for us. The downside is that I don't actually know a lot about "advanced" features...
I want to monitor a plain text log file on one of our Windows servers (already running BBWin and reporting just fine). I've RTFM and came to the conclusion that I need to do something like the following:
Specify the specific log file in client-local.cfg on the hobbit server:
[win32] log:"d:\Log directory with spaces in name\log.txt":10240
Configure hobbit-clients.cfg so that the occurrence of the word "error" causes the server's status to go red:
HOST=winservername LOG "d:\Log directory with spaces in name\log.txt" %error color=red
Is this the correct way of doing this? I guess not because it doesn't appear to be evaluating that log file. I've had a look at the logs but see nothing to help.
Will appreciate advice on this.
Thanks.
