I have been unable to get the msgs test to work. I have configured
client-local.cfg
[sunos]
log:/var/adm/messages:10240
and hobbit-clients.cfg
HOST=cicero
LOG %/var/adm/messages %fatal COLOR=red
The Hobbit server sends Cicero the client-local.cfg directives, because
Cicero's ~hobbit/client/tmp/logfetch.cicero.cfg shows
log:/var/adm/messages:10240
but if I look in ~hobbit/client/tmp/msgs.cicero.txt it says:
[msgs:/var/adm/messages]
[logfile:/var/adm/messages]
type:100000 (file)
mode:644 (-rw-r--r--)
...
...
The messages file has been stocked exclusively with messages containing the
word 'fatal'. The stanza 'logfile:/var/adm/messages' knows the file is large
and visible, but the stanza 'msgs:/var/adm/messages' says the file is null,
and that's evidently what gets reported back to the Hobbit server. So my
msgs test never goes from green to red.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks,
David
