This was a problem to me during several months and finally, someone helped me out on the mailing list. You have to create a file in the Hobbit tmp/ directory :
cat ..../hobbit-monitor/client/tmp/logfetch.<HOSTNAME>.cfg
log:/var/log/messages:10240 log:/var/log/mail.log:10240 log:/var/log/auth.log:10240
*If* you run the client in local mode, I believe you should only need to put the content that would otherwise go in client-local.cfg on the server in localclient.cfg on the client. I don't think you should need to create the logfetch file manually.
<HOSTNAME> is the hostname of your machine (I used to do : touch tmp/logfetch.
hostname.cfg). Once this file is created and filed in, you will see the light ;)
If you don't run the client in local mode, the client should create this file itself, from the configuration for the client in the client-local.cfg file on the server.
