The LOG and FILE functions doesn't work anymore.
Well, the first thing to check is if any [file:.*], [msgs:.*]
According to this
discussion "http://www.hobbitmon.com/hobbiton/2006/06/msg00575.html";, I
have to create a file "client/tmp/logfetch.`uname -n`.cfg" with "LOG
%/oracle/REG/saptrace/background/alert_REG.log %checkpoint ...". I did this
and it doesn't work at all (same message : "The client did not report any
logfile data").
AFAIK, the content logfetch.*.cfg needs is in the format in client-local.cfg, 
not hobbit-clients.cfg, so your:

log:/var/log/messages:10240
ignore MARK
log:/oracle/REG/saptrace/background/alert_REG.log:10240

belongs in it, and not the LOG entries.
