I finally got it to work with the following
In hobbit-clients.cfg
HOST=testserver
DIR /var/adm SIZE<1g yellow track
In client-local.cfg
[testserver]
dir:/var/adm
Now the files column shows up yellow when /var/adm grows over 1g in size and also graphs.
Thanks to those who helped!

When I read that man-page, I understand it as du is always run on the
directory that is specified in dir:DIRECTORYNAME
So you should only add this to the correct host in client-local.cfg.
dir:/var/adm
From the man-page:
"A directory monitoring entry is used to watch the size of a directory and any sub-directories. It looks like this:
dir:DIRECTORYNAME
The dir:DIRECTORYNAME line defines the filename of the file to monitor. As with the "log:" entries, a filename enclosed in backticks means a command which will generate the filenames dynamically. The Xymon client will run the du(1) command with the directoryname as parameter, and send the output back to the Xymon server."

You've have to add
dir:`du -k /var/adm`
in your client-local.cfg ...
then you've got hte size of your directory

I don't understand exactly what you mean, but you need to add it
both to
client-local.cfg and to hobbit-clients.cfg. Both these files are
located on the Xymon server. Client-local.cfg tells the client to
send information about that directory to the Xymon server, and
hobbit-clients.cfg tells the server what to alert on in that information.

I did add it to client-local.cfg on the client server, is
client-local.cfg a
different
file?

You need to reverse SIZE>10m to SIZE<10m if wanting to alert if
greater
than
10m.

I am trying to use the DIR in hobbit-client.cfg, but not having
any luck. Does anyone use this?
Xymon server- hobbit-client.cfg
Syntax that I used:
DIR /var/adm yellow SIZE>10m track
Client- localclient.cfg
DIR /var/adm
Any suggestions?
Try putting the word yellow after the SIZE>10m.
