Hmm, I am not sure of that.

I believe that * stands for ANY character, not just proceeding one - you have to use classes to be able to use preceding characters. Secondly, non-escaped dot stands for exactly one character so it has to be escaped, hasn't it ? (So the entry in hobbit-client.cfg should look more like this: LOG %/var/lib/app/host\.* "ERROR" yellow - but what I am really after is something like "LOG %/var/lib/app/host* "ERROR" yellow" in hobbit-client.cfg and "log:%/var/lib/app/host*:10240" in clients-local.cfg)

Also, as Henrik said, I cannot use regexp in clients-local.cfg (which is a pain in the *** :D - just joking) but here is another question coming:

Having two logs on two machines, from the same program but differently named and not being able to use regex in clients-local.cfg, how can I define files that I am after (files that particular hobbit client will be exporting to server? - is the only solution here to make these logs being named identical ?)?

Are regex expression not being paresed through whole client-local.cfg file or just classes ?

ex. In client-local.cfg I cannot use "log:%/var/lib/app/host??.log:10240" (which would perfectly sorted my problem out matching one of the two logs on both servers) or can I?

Try

LOG %/var/lib/app/host.* "ERROR" yellow

Iirc, this is using regular expression pattern matching, and a * means '0 or more of the preceding character'. So you need the . (any character) for it to extend.

Hello to all,

A quick question:

I do have to servers, load balanced, generating two logs comming from the same application. My goal is to be able to log error messages from these two machines, having different log names but logs holding the same content.

Log on the firs machine is in format:

host1.log

and log on the other machine is

host2.log

What I did is in client-local.cfg file I have defined new class as following:

log:/var/lib/app/host*.log:10240

and tried to use it within hobbit-clients.cfg by doing (I do remember that we can not uses classes within this file, just bb-hosts):

HOST=%host..\.domain\.com ... LOG %/var/lib/app/host* "ERROR" yellow

But unfortunatelly it doesnt work :(

Is there any viable exit from this situation? Am I missing something here or it is simply not possible to do it that way?

Kind regards

Szymon

I've done something like this successfully:

log:date +"/path/to/logs/Server_%Y.%m.%d.log":10240

So you might be able to do to use the shell to do what you need via the ... command.

Hi,

I have been looking through the config files and man pages but can't find where to put the PIXELS definition to change the default size for the history bargraphs.

Can someone point me in the right direction ?

See the RRDHEIGHT and RRDWIDTH settings in hobbitserver.cfg file.

Cheers

Iain

Thanks, Ger.
