Hi All,
I a bit of a newbie to hobbit / xymon so please forgive me.
I have been trying to get my hobbit server to monitor a file called /home/xymon/test.txt, so I can log the growth on it, should I append TRACK to it?
I have modified client-local.cfg and added [linux] log:/var/log/messages:10240 file:/home/xymon/test.txt
I have no data in hobbit to show for this what am I doing wrong?
Thanks

Hi Paul,
You will also need an entry in the hobbit-clients.cfg file.
The entry in client-local.cfg tells the hobbit client to check this file and send the details on the file back to the server, where as the one in hobbit-clients.cfg does the evaluation of the data returned from the hobbit client.
It is pretty well documented. Maybe something like ..
HOST=nms.am.my.net FILE /bin/sh yellow TRACK
Hope this helps ..
Darrin

In hobbit-clients.cfg on the server you need to add a FILE entry. See the commentary at the beginning of the file for details.

Thanks for your help,
I will wait for dome data to turn up now. The other thing though is I have DIR /home TRACK In the hobbit-clients.cfg but no DIR are showing up in xymon under filesystems or files? Is there again something I have not done?
Thanks

Directory monitoring also requires a setting on the client so that the client knows what to send to the server. See client-local.cfg on your client.
