Subject: [hobbit] problesms with msgs monitor
hi everyone.
I have problems configuring the msgs monitor.
i already read old questions about this and realized that this monitor
is configurate using hobbit-clients.cfg and loal-clients.cfg.
both configuration files are in the server part, aren´t they?
It is correct?
in hobbit-clients..
HOST=soria.xx.es
LOG /usr/local/apache2/logs/error_log [error] COLOR=red
It is correct?
but i can´t find the local-clients.cfg .
It is necesary but i can´t find it.
the hobbit server is a debian .
can i create that file?
any idea?
