I have machines that may or may not have a specific log file.   How do I configure hobbit to only retrieve the logs if they exist?   Right now, I have msgs yellow with "Logfile not accessible" on any host without this log and I would like to have them show up as green.
  
If all else fails, you could always just do a "touch logfilename" to make a zero byte logfile for hobbit to find.
