Thanks 

My default was first in the list. So I could not understand why certain
things worked but others not. All is well not.

Regards
Neil

Hi !

the first rule match, so if you have special rules for a host or a group
in the hobbit-client.cfg before the default entry, it will match ..

https://it-hobbit/hobbit/help/manpages/man5/hobbit-clients.cfg.5.html

RULES: APPLYING SETTINGS TO SELECTED HOSTS

The entire file is evaluated from the top to bottom, and the first match

found is used. So you should put the specific settings first, and the 
generic ones last.

cheers,

Hi Guys

I am pretty sure I know how to configure client monitoring from the
hobbit-client.cfg file. However could someone just tell me if I am
right
or wrong. I will include a example and what I think it means

HOST=PRMSIIS01
   LOAD 50 90 <-- If the CPU goes above 50% usage turn yellow  90% is
panic level. What about multicore CPU's here?
   DISK C 80 90 <-- If disk c is above 80% capacity yellow if over 90%
panic.

If I have a default section will they get preference over the
individual
settings?

Sorry for the basic questions just need to make sure I am 100% with
the
program and since no one else can even use Linux here in my office I
am
pretty much out there by myself.

Neil
