I believe your problem is that the configuration reads top to bottom.  Your
default configuration catches the hosts before your specified configuration
below the default.  Try switching the two around.

 All,


I'm having problems with this as well.  I'm able to get the following as
they are the defaults:


Conn

CPU

Disk

Info

Memory

SSH

Trends


I can't get the following:


Files

MSGS

Ports

Procs


I'm able to get them to work on the Hobbit server itself, but I can't seem
to figure out how to get the same information from the clients.  I installed
the Hobbit client from the package and the servers see each other.  This is
what is in the hobbit-clients.cfg file:


DEFAULT

        # These are the built-in defaults.

        UP      1h

        LOAD    5.0 10.0

        DISK    * 90 95

        MEMPHYS 100 101

        MEMSWAP 50 80

        MEMACT  90 97

        PROC    httpd 3 40

        PROC    /usr/lib/inet/inetd start

        PROC    /usr/lib/ssh/sshd 1 99

All the above files are in the location listed.  I'm guessing that they
don't show up because of the settings listed.


This is what is in the "client-local.cfg" file (as well as the defaults):


[wfs-bkp01-atl]

file:/var/log/


Both of the above files are located on the Hobbit server.  If I read the
files right on the client side there is not anything that I need to
configure.  I could be wrong about this.


Thank you,

HI,

   Thanks. It worked.


          Is there any way to display contents of file or it displays only
size, timestamp, file type, permissions. When I made following entry on
client-local.cfg


file:`ls -l -t /var/adm/sa/sar*`:4096


it outputs

When I click on any one of the lick  it outputs


[file:-rw-r--r--   1 sys      sys       118298 Feb  1 18:05
/var/adm/sa/sar01]

ERROR: No such file or directory


But file is there.  Do I have to change or add anything to display the
contents of sar file or it checks only size, timestamp, permission etc.

Your client-local.cfg syntax is wrong.  client-local tells hobbit what to
upload, hobbit-client tells Hobbit how to use what it uploaded.  You have
the two files configured the same, which is wrong.  Also, you don't need
anything on the client side if you're running Hobbit in the typical manner.
The client-local.cfg data is downloaded from the server to the client
automatically.


Try something more like this:


*Client-local.cfg*

[nj1db200pt]

file:/home/monitor/test

file:/var/log/

log:/var/adm/messages:4096

The default copies of all these files are commented heavily at the top
showing all this syntax.

I have been trying to monitor files and messages.but no luck.

On server side I have edited following files and given entries

hobbit-client.cfg

    HOST=nj1db200pt

       FILE  /home/monitor/test mtime>600 red

       DIR %^/var/log TRACK

       LOG /var/adm/messages  WARNING COLOR=yellow

Client-local.cfg


     [nj1db200pt]

    FILE  /home/monitor/test mtime>600 red

   DIR %^/var/log TRACK

   LOG /var/adm/messages  WARNING COLOR=yellow

On Client side


    HOST=nj1db200pt

     FILE  /home/monitor/test mtime>600 red

     DIR %^/var/log TRACK

     LOG /var/adm/messages  WARNING COLOR=yellow

  Do I have to edit any other files. or I am doing something wrong. I can
see any output. I can see only white icon.help me monitorl logs and
messages
