Do i have to use a externel script to check a logfile like /var/log/messages on hobbit server/client, just like BB do?
No, the Hobbit client has log monitoring built-in.
First, add the logfile to the client-local.cfg file; /var/log/messages is in there by default for most types of systems, so you can probably skip that step.
Then you only need to setup the log monitoring in the hobbit-clients.cfg file to specify what you want to look for in the log data. See the hobbit-clients.cfg(5) man-page - the "msgs status column settings" section.
