Still not working.

 My alert still turns red.  Do you know if there is any other configuration
in some other file that affects this behavior?  I even tried a different
string incase I was missing something in the first ignore string.  My
[win32] and [default] values are below my server definitions.  Not sure
where to go on this problem at this point.  ~ Thank You for your help.

I even tried to provied the same case as you:

My client-local.cfg:

[stfwin6]
eventlog:System
ignore TermServDevices
ignore Printer Driver required

[win32]

My hobbit-clients.cfg:

HOST=stfwin6
       LOG %.* %WARNING  COLOR=yellow
       LOG %.* %ERROR  COLOR=yellow

I could never get the ignore clause to work in for the event log either.
 Let me know if you have any luck!

I had problems with [win32] until I noticed there was an example [win32] up
at the top of the file in the examples which was overriding my settings...
whoops.  I don't know if this applies to you.

My client-local.cfg looks like:

[win32]
eventlog:security
ignore .*success.*
eventlog:application
ignore BigBrotherHobbitClient
eventlog:eventlog_application
ignore BigBrotherHobbitClient
eventlog:system
ignore TermServDevices
ignore information
file:C:\Program Files\BBWin\bin\BBWin.exe:md5

None of the ignore statements work.

Hello, I am having a really hard time getting Hobbit to ignore Windows
error log messages.  I searched the groups and can not find an answer that
differs from my setup.  Yet it does not work for me.

Also, does anyone have the CLASS=win32 feature to work.  Currently I am
filtering by hostnames, but I would like to filter by CLASS.  I have the
following in my files.

bb-hosts:
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx   stfwin6 # COMMENT:"WINDOWS TESTING SERVER"

My client-local.cfg:

[stfwin6]
log:system
ignore TermServDevices

[win32]

My hobbit-clients.cfg:

HOST=stfwin6
       LOG %.* %WARNING  COLOR=yellow
       LOG %.* %ERROR  COLOR=yellow


In client-local.cfg I tried the log keyword as well as the eventlog
keyword.

Thank You

       Anna,

       I have not had good luck using class names so I have stayed with
using host
       name. Make sure that your hostname of the same class comes before
the class
       name. Ever which one it finds first that is the one it will use. So
if you
       have an empty class name and a host name of the same class comes
after the
       class name nothing will happen.


       So here is my client-local.cfg I have


       [hostname.xxx.purdue.edu]
       file:c:\Alligate\Digests\.Red_If_Digest_Did_Not_Run.txt
       eventlog:Application
       ignore information
       ignore success
       ignore message could not be scanned
       ignore Error occurred in Scanning
       eventlog:Security
       ignore information
       ignore success
       ignore MAILRELAY Error Code: 0x0
       eventlog:System
       ignore information
       ignore success

       and my hobbit-client.cfg

       HOST=hostname.xxx.purdue.edu
          UP 30m 1w
          LOAD 40.0 70.0
          DISK * 90 95
          FILE c:\Alligate\Digests\.Red_If_Digest_Did_Not_Run.txt red
CTIME<100800
          LOG %.* %WARNING  COLOR=yellow
          LOG %.* %ERROR  COLOR=red
          PROC AGDigestSvc.exe  1 1
          PROC AgDomSvc.exe  1 1

       In my use I have found that the epoch time is not calculated
correctly. It
       seems that it will take the local time to calculate GMT and not
adjust for
       the time zone.

       I have document this in the BBWIN mail list.

       Hope this helps.

       Robert

I want to monitor the size of the logfiles on windows servers.
I want to put a line in hobbit-clients.cfg like this:

FILE /var/log/messages SIZE>0 MTIME<604800 yellow

Does anybody have a clue about the name and paths of logfiles
in Windows XP.

in client local i want to put this:
[win32]
log:/var/log/messages:10240

Any clue, anybody?
