Somebody please point me at some docs on setting filters for syslog and other log file monitoring, or give me some starting point. I've checked the archive, browsed through the installation and config pages, looked through man pages, and I'm just not seeing it.

I have the standard configs on my clients, with clientlaunch.cfg and hobbitclient.cfg. I tried sending a few test messages to syslog using logger -p ERR test and logger -p ERROR test, but get nothing reported.

hobbitclient.cfg has the default setup with the following. This is not the same as processes, disk etc. is it, where the client config is no longer used, but is set on the hobbit server?

For the msgs check

DOMSGS="TRUE" NOMSGSCOLOR="clear" BBMSGSTAB="$BBHOME/etc/bb-msgstab" CHKMSGLEN="TRUE" IGNMSGS="" MSGEXPIRE="30:60" MSGFILE="/var/log/messages" MSGS="NOTICE WARNING" PAGEMSG="NOTICE" REDMSGSLINES="20" YELLOWMSGSLINES="10"

Thanks.
