I've got a hobbit client that I installed from a FreeBSD Package running on a pfSense firewall.  It's working fine other than it trying to read /var/log/messages instead of /var/log/system.log.  I can't seem to figure out how to define the log file.  In the client /xymon/client/etc/hobbitclient.cfg I've set the CONFIGCLASS definition to "darwin" which is the only ostype that has the system.log type file (listed on the server in /xymon/server/etc/client-local.cfg).  I restart the hobbit service on the client and wait a bit.  The web page on my server says it's looking in /var/log/messages but it finds no entries (because duh, there isn't a file with that name).

Where do I define the log file path in the client configs?  Or can I define it in the server's hosts.cfg file?

Thank you.
