Hey,
I'm having a minor issue with the logging functionality of hobbit. I have a log file that is rolled daily and, as such, has a date embedded. I've tried adding the entry like:
log:/path/to/file_date +%Y.%m.%d.log:10240
I got the impression from the docs and Henrik's site that this should be possible. What am I missing?
=G=
I'm also getting that "cannot open logfile:...: permission denied. However, if I become the hobbit user, I can access it just fine...any thoughts?
=G=

You can... but I think you can only do one or the other, not mix it. A
literal, or the whole thing a command in backquotes.
Perhaps if you try something like:
log:date +'/path/to/file_%Y.%m.%d.log':10240
The file must be readable by the Hobbit user for monitoring to work, of course. -Alan
I do something like the following for some servers, and it works, maybe you can adapt the concept to your needs: log:`find /path/to/location -maxdepth 1 -name '

You rock, dude...that did it. Now I just need to figure out why hobbit can't see the other logs. It's a permissions thing I'm sure but I've made the hobbit user a member of the group that has access yet it seems like the secondary group membership is not being honored. Anyone ever run into this?

Make sure you restart the Hobbit client after changing group memberships - changing it doesn't affect any running processes.

Yep, did that (a couple of times)...I wish I had this setup on a different OS...currently only on Solaris 10. Never seen this before 9but then again solaris 10 isn't exactly like the older ones). I wonder if it's the service manifest file I worked on for it...I may need to read up on that a bit more...

Ok...I've just confirmed this hypothesis. I disabled the service and started hobbit manually (don't know why I didn't think of it sooner) and it's working as expected...guess I'll have to research the service manifest to figure out what I need to know to make it work with it.
