Thank you for the fast answer Stef!
im geting the lines from my logfile and i can see them in hobbit. So far its
working. But somehow they can not be triggered.
now the only thing that i want to do is:
msgs column should get red, when this logfile get a line (the content doesnt
matter). Thats why i think that the trigger would not be a really good idea,
because i would have to trigger a status for every type of entries in this
log.
i also tried to write something in this logfile and then trigger some words
(to become red) but it didnt work...
TIA

Hi guys,
im trying to do an easy thing but its not working. I've been looking in
the
client-local.cfg manual but it doesnt helped a lot.
What i want to do is:
-monitor a logfile (like as usual by the column msgs) which is usualy
empty. -trigger the status as soon as the logfile get a line --> then it
should become red!!!
What i tried to do:
-put some lines like: "trigger allert", "* COLOR=red" etc... in the
client-local.cfg --> didnt work
ps: I'm trying to do this in the Hobbit-Server... should i change the
config in the client also?
does somebody know how i can configure this?
Yes.
First make sure the client is sending the content of the file so you have
something under the files check. This can be configured in
client-local.cfg
(see the manpage for the correct syntax). You can also check the tmp
directory on the client. There should be some files with the relevant
lines
from client-local.cfg. It will also take some time (10 minutes) before the
client picks up the changed config and start sending lines.
Next step is in hobbit-clients.cfg where you can configure what will be
triggering a red or yellow error.
So, first make sure the client is sending lines from the logfile and then
confgure what will trigger red/yellow.
