No - I have no bb-msgtab, and have seen only one reference to it. I don't remember where I saw that, but whatever I saw, it was not enough to tell me where it must be (I would assume the client?) and what must be in it.

Re: [hobbit] Monitoring syslog and other log files
It sounds like your missing piece of the puzzle is bb-msgstab, have you edited it or otherwise customized it?

Somebody please point me at some docs on setting filters for syslog and other log file monitoring, or give me some starting point. I've checked the archive, browsed through the installation and config pages, looked through man pages, and I'm just not seeing it.
I have the standard configs on my clients, with clientlaunch.cfg and hobbitclient.cfg. I tried sending a few test messages to syslog using logger -p ERR test and logger -p ERROR test, but get nothing reported.
hobbitclient.cfg has the default setup with the following. This is not the same as processes, disk etc. is it, where the client config is no longer used, but is set on the hobbit server? # For the msgs check DOMSGS="TRUE" NOMSGSCOLOR="clear" BBMSGSTAB="$BBHOME/etc/bb-msgstab" CHKMSGLEN="TRUE" IGNMSGS="" MSGEXPIRE="30:60" MSGFILE="/var/log/messages" MSGS="NOTICE WARNING" PAGEMSG="NOTICE" REDMSGSLINES="20" YELLOWMSGSLINES="10"
Thanks.
