LOG alert not showing yellow

Hi Manocchia,

 
It could be access rights, if you are running hobbit using the init
script it will run as user hobbit and make sure that hobbit user can
read /var/log/messages

Subject: [hobbit] LOG alert not showing yellow

 
I have a small problem. I've set up monitoring of the
/var/log/messages logfile to search for the string "authentication
failure" and alert with a yellow button in the MSG column. I can see
the error displayed when I click on the button below the Msg column
header but it does not turn yellow.

 
 Below is the entry in the clients-local.cfg file:

 
[batman]

log:/var/log/messages:10240

ignore MARK

 
This is the entry in the hobbit-clients.cfg file:

 
HOST=batman

        LOG     /var/log/messages       authentication failure
color=yellow

 
Why doesn't this give me a yellow alert.

 
 Thanks
