At the bottom of my /home/shire/server/etc/hobbit-clients.cfg

I still get "no files checked after two rewrites of the page.
In config file server/etc/client-local.cfg you specify what logfile the client will report to the server.  You have to add a section for your client to it.  Once the client picks this up (to be sure restart the hobbit server and wait at least 10 minutes), the msgs column should be green and the logfile should appear on it.
Once this works, you can change hobbit-clients.cfg so the server knows the yellow and green conditions.
