I want to monitor several logfiles in a directory.

 
Can I use wildcards in the client-local.cfg and hobbit-clients.cfg file for
the client?

 
Would this work?

client-local.cfg example:

log: /logs/server1/SystemOut.log*:10240

 
and this?

 
LOG  logs/server1/SystemOut.log* %Error|Warning COLOR=YELLOW

 
If not, can you suggest another method?

 
Thanks.James

No, you need to run a command to generate the filenames on the client.
So something like this would do it:
   log:`ls -1d /logs/server1/SystemOut.log*`:10240

and this?

LOG  logs/server1/SystemOut.log* %Error|Warning COLOR=YELLOW
You need to flag the log filename as a regex, so:
  LOG  %/logs/server1/SystemOut.log.* %Error|Warning COLOR=YELLOW

This is documented in the man-page for the config files, btw ...
