Hi again

I'm using a Hobbit 4.2 client (from latest snapshot) with the "--local" flag in ~client/etc/clientlaunch.cfg

Here's my ~client/etc/localclient.cfg :

DEFAULT UP 1h LOAD 5.0 10.0 DISK * 90 95 MEMPHYS 100 101 MEMSWAP 50 80 MEMACT 90 97 CLOCK 3600 PROC snmpd 1 1 yellow PROC /usr/sbin/apache2 10 50 red PORT "LOCAL=%([.:]80)$" state=LISTEN TEXT=HTTP PORT "LOCAL=%([.:]22)$" state=ESTABLISHED max=20 color=yellow TRACK=ssh "TEXT=SSH logins" DIR /home/hobbituser red SIZE<10000 FILE /var/log/apache2/access_log red SIZE<100M LOG /var/log/apache2/error_log WARNING COLOR=yellow

Everything works but the FILE, DIR and LOG tests. I get "The client did not report any logfile data" and "No files checked".

I saw that commentary :

#NB: The directories you wish to monitor must be listed in a "dir:..."

entry in the client-local.cfg file, in order for the client to

report any data about them.

As I understand, a client in local mode sends directy its statuses to the Hobbit server, but it seems that some configuration has still to be made on the server...

Henrik, could you change this behaviour, so that a client in local mode doesn't need configuration on the server ? I'd really appreciate, as it will allow us to upgrade from Big Brother Unix client to Hobbit client.

Another thing, I keep getting every 5 minutes this error message in ~client/logs/hobbitclient.log :

2006-06-27 15:20:08 Failed to get a message, terminating

And the clientupdate command doesn't return anything :

$ ~client/bin/clientupdate --level

$

Thanks !
