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.
Well, it is going to be very painful to update hundreds of hosts.  
Absolutely ... I haven't deployed the Hobbit client extensively yet,
but I still have some 30-40 hosts I need to update.

The good news is that the client now has the ability to update itself 
from a central filestore on the Hobbit server, so hopefully it should
be a lot easier the next time.

(Note - this is NOT included in the current alfa-release).

I'll respond to your other questions in another e-mail.
