Thanks Henrik - I did miss that. I've been searching and grepping all files in all directories to try to find anything, but I was searching for "syslog" and "messages". I thought I had seen some syslog messages on your servers/demo site - I tend to browse there every now and then, looking to see how the master does things!

Somebody please point me at some docs on setting filters for syslog and other log file monitoring, or give me some starting point. I've checked the archive, browsed through the installation and config pages, looked through man pages, and I'm just not seeing it.
I have the standard configs on my clients, with clientlaunch.cfg and hobbitclient.cfg.
You must have missed this in the README.CLIENT file:
The Hobbit client will report data for the "cpu", "disk",
"memory" and "procs" columns to Hobbit, in addition to
data for the "vmstat" and "netstat" graphs. It does not
currently provide any data for the system-log "msgs"
column.
In other words: The Hobbit client doesn't do log-monitoring yet.
This is a strong candidate for "most wanted feature" currently, so
it will show up soon. But right now I have my hands full with other requests.
Regards,
Henrik
