Hello all.
I am attempting to monitor a randomly disappearing directory on one of my Mac OS X Server clients.
Looking at the docs for hobbit-client.cfg, I should be able to monitor the directories existence with:
HOST=upload.iconla.com
FILE /Volumes/raid/upload red type=dir TRACKI should also be able to monitor the size of that directory by adding the line:
DIR /Volumes/raid/upload red size<40522440 TRACKI expect that this should graph the size of the directory and turn red when it reaches over 19G as well as go red iif the directory disappears.
I know my HOST line is correct as it is already reading my DISK status settings.
Yet Files Status still shows :
No files checked.
Where have I gone wrong?

You must also define the directory (or files) to be checked in the client-local.cfg file. Until you do, the Hobbit client will not report any about this file/directory, and the settings in hobbit-clients.cfg will not have any effect because they have no data to work from.

hmm, I must still be doing something wrong.
So in hobbit-client.cfg on the hobbit server I have:
HOST=upload.iconla.com
FILE /Volumes/raid/upload red type=dir TRACK
DIR /Volumes/raid/upload red size<40522440 TRACKand on the localclient.cfg on upload.iconla.com I have:
HOST=upload.iconla.com FILE /Volumes/raid/upload red type=dir TRACK DIR /Volumes/raid/upload red size<40522440 TRACK
Is this right? -Eric

NO.
The file for the definition is client-local.cfg (see manpage client-local.cfg(5)), not localclient.cfg.
You must define something like:
[upload.iconla.com] dir:/Volumes/raid/upload
