You definitely need to update the client. I'm really sorry about that,
but back in August last year I had no idea how to do the log-file
stuff, so the old client simply doesn't provide the data needed for
the log- and file-monitoring.
       
Ok, is there some minimum number of files I can  update like only the binaries bb and hobbitlaunch?
    
~hobbit/client/bin/* and ~hobbit/client/runclient.sh - i.e. all of the
programs.

Well, it is going to be very painful to update hundreds of hosts.  Regardless, I have created a new instance and just modified the new instance with our previous changes.  I still cannot get LOGS to work FILES.  I can get to work, but perhaps I found a bug?  Here is the entry:

client-local.cfg:file:/opt/app/apache/logs/access-test.log
hobbit-clients.cfg:     FILE /opt/app/apache/logs/access-test.log size<2000000 COLOR=red

Here is the result when alarming:

/opt/app/apache/logs/access-test.log
File is missing


And when you click the link:

ERROR: Value too large for defined data type


I am trying to test for a file size greater than 2G.  It would be very nice if the size could be represented in kilobytes, megabytes and gigabytes. K, M, and G.

Here is a  LOG entry that fails (none work):

client-local.cfg:log:/opt/app/apache/logs/error-test.log:10240
hobbit-clients.cfg:        LOG /opt/app/apache/logs/error-test.log MATCH="%Segmentation Fault" COLOR=red
