Hello,
I'm having a problem with getting a hobbit client to change status of 'MSGS'
to Red if Hobbit finds the word "error" in /var/log/messages.
A few things to note:
- The Client *can* transmit data to the hobbit server for all other
statuses(memory, procs, disk, etc..) without any problems
- The ''hobbit'' account does have read access to /var/log/messages
- The Client launches Hobbit with the ''-local'' option to allow use of
localclients.cfg
- I've frequently ran ''logger -p" to force the word ''error'' into
/var/log/messages.
- The hostname matches what's in bb-hosts and the config files on both
client and server
- Linux client and server
*Here is what I have in /home/hobbit/client/etc/localclient.cfg on the
Hobbit Client:*
============================================================
DEFAULT
UP 1h
LOAD 5.0 10.0
DISK * 90 95
MEMPHYS 100 101
MEMSWAP 50 80
MEMACT 90 97
LOG /var/log/messages error COLOR=red ##This does not work
PROC "/opt/openfiler/sbin/opendev" 1 2 yellow ##This works fine
============================================================
*Here is what I have in /home/hobbit/server/etc/client-local.cfg on the
Hobbit Server:*
============================================================
[linux]
log:/var/log/messages:10240
============================================================
*And here is what I have in /home/hobbit/server/etc/hobbit-clients.cfg on
the Hobbit Server:*
============================================================
UP 1h
LOAD 5.0 10.0
DISK * 90 95
SWAP 20 40
MEMPHYS 100 101
MEMSWAP 50 80
MEMACT 90 97
LOG /var/log/messages error COLOR=red HOST=gsxxx.xxxxxi.com
============================================================
And yet I cannot get the status of MSGS to go to Red for the client when I
put 'error' into /var/log/messages
Thanks,
