Charles,
I had read the man page, honest. I read the following:
"logfilename" is the name of the logfile. Only logentries from this filename
will be matched against this rule. Note that "logfilename" can be a regular
expression (if prefixed with a '%' character).
to mean that %.* would match all logfilenames. Guest not, huh?
Thanks, I'll try that.
Steve.

Your syntax is wrong. For logfile monitoring you must have the following
in hobbit-clients.cfg:
*LOG logfilename pattern [COLOR=color] [IGNORE=excludepattern]*
So, using one of your examples below, it should be:
LOG /var/adm/messages WARNING COLOR=yellow
If you need a reference just check the man pages, either on your Hobbit
instance, or at:

Hi all,
I may not be understanding how the LOG match-pattern works.
In my hobbit-clients.cfg file I have under the DEFAULT section the
following:
LOG %.* NOTICE
LOG %.* ERROR
LOG %.* WARNING COLOR=yellow
LOG %.* notice COLOR=yellow
LOG %.* error COLOR=yellow
LOG %.* daemon.error COLOR=yellow
LOG %.* warning COLOR=yellow
LOG %.* warn COLOR=yellow
At the moment on my hobbit server I have a green status for the host
mentor and the following messages in /var/adm/messages:
[msgs:/var/adm/messages]

The above is copied from the hobbit display reached by clicking on the
[/var/adm/messages] link on the msgs page for this host.
In the client-local.cfg I have:
[sunos]
log:/var/adm/messages:10240
So why is the page green? There are at least 3 strings that should match
to turn it yellow, right? And incidentally, the BB server I'm running on
another host *does* show yellow. I'm trying to validate my hobbit
configuration by making sure it matches the running BB server. And it
doesn't for msgs, ever.
Thanks,
Steve.
