Two config files need to be modified in Hobbit for log-file alerting:
1) client-local.cfg, which controls _which files_ will be parsed for
alerting
2) hobbit-clients.cfg, which controls _how_ the logs will be parsed

There is a section in the Hobbit help files which explain how to set these
two files up.  Please post the contents of these files if you're still
having problems.  It took me a little trial-and-error to get log alerting to
work right, but once I got it set up, it's a piece of cake to any anything
new.

 Hello All,

Since I move everything over to hobbit, the messages monitoring

seems to have changed. I get no alerts on /var/adm/messages file

anymore.


We just had a database server crater, and the /var/adm/messages file

was full of VCS errors. I'm also not getting notified of SCSI errors I've

seen on other machines.


Am I missing something? Should I have configured something else?


Thanks…James
