Ken,
I notice you have short host names in the config as well as in the log
files. Do you have short host names in the bb-hosts file as well?

I am having issues with getting Hobbit to report log entries from client
log files. The server is getting the log data but, despite a valid string
entry in the log file, no alerts are generated.
Here is an excerpt from my client-local.cfg file:
[hosta-z1]
log:/var/adm/messages:10240
And a corresponding entry from the hobbit-clients.cfg file:
HOST=hosta-z1
LOG /var/adm/messages sshd COLOR=red
The status never changes for this host despite sshd entries existing in
the /var/adm/messages file. I used "sshd" because I KNOW that there are
current entries in /var/adm/messages since everytime hobbit runs an ssh
check on the server an sshd message is generated. I have chosen this string
just to troubleshoot this problem...
Clicking on "msgs" for this host, there is a message "No entries in
/var/adm/messages". But if I click on the "/var/adm/messages" link it shows
recent entries with the sshd string in the log file as the following shows:
[msgs:/var/adm/messages]

Does anyone know what the problem may be? Is there possibly any known
issues with Hobbit logging under Solaris 10 Update 3 for SPARC? I have
tried almost everything I can think of to get this to work and I am getting
no where.
Thanks in advance for any help.
