If you have the Hobbit server built from source, the process is similar. It is somewhat easier since the configure script only asks one question, that is the address of the Hobbit server. After you build the client package, start it and it should start monitoring your client.

I have installed hobbit from rpm and now the client can send data to server.
But i need to monitor file size and what i did was i added one line in
hobbit-clients.cfg my settings are here
HOST=myhostname.domainname
PROC squid 2 5 yellow TRACK
FILE /cache1/access.log TRACK
and i added in client-local.cfg like this
[myhostname.domainname]
log:/var/log/messages:10240
ignore MARK
file:/cache1/access.log
but its still saying "No files check" and its not showing information
regarding the files i specified? what might be the problem???

I've noticed that it can take a couple of cycles of the client to get the process started (or changed). Also, can the user that the client is running under access that file?

yes user that the client is running under can access that file. my problem is that graph is also ok and its showing, but all i wanna do is to report if that size of file grows greater than 100MB.

Use the SIZE parameter in the FILE directive. See the man page or help for details.
