It doesn't. 
I don't know if it's OK in XML to leave out certain attributes - I
suppose it is, and in that case there shouldn't be a problem with
implementing the "fields" option to hobbitdxboard.
In my testing I have found that it does not. Most desireable would be to choose to have the full log msg listed. 
The <MessageSummary> attribute has the first line of the status message,
which is usually a summary of the data. The amount XML data generated by
hobbitdxboard is already rather large - I'd rather not increase that much more.
