You rock, dude...that did it. Now I just need to figure out why hobbit can't see the other logs. It's a permissions thing I'm sure but I've made the hobbit user a member of the group that has access yet it seems like the secondary group membership is not being honored. Anyone ever run into this?

Hey,
I'm having a minor issue with the logging functionality of hobbit. I have a log file that is rolled daily and, as such, has a date embedded. I've tried adding the entry like:
log:/path/to/file_`date +%Y.%m.%d`.log:10240
I got the impression from the docs and Henrik's site that this should be possible. What am I missing?
You can... but I think you can only do one or the other, not mix it. A literal, or the whole thing a command in backquotes.
Perhaps if you try something like:
log:`date +'/path/to/file_%Y.%m.%d.log'`:10240
The file must be readable by the Hobbit user for monitoring to work, of course.

I do something like the following for some servers, and it works, maybe you can adapt the concept to your needs:
log:`find /path/to/location -maxdepth 1 -name '
