clients-local.cfg question
list Chuck Danger
I seem to be having a problem understanding clients-local.cfg. Is it not possible for a host to match multiple entries in clients-local.cfg? I have this currently:
bb-hosts:
....
192.168.1.2 test # class=app
clients-local.cfg:
[sunos]
log: /var/adm/message:10240
[app]
file:/home/test/app/app.log
hobbit-clients.cfg:
DEFAULT
....
CLASS=app
FILE /home/test/app/app.log RED size<150000
I would think that this would result in the client checking the logfile size at /home/test/app/app.log. However, looking at the logfetch results on the client, I can see that it is not picking up the file config from clients-local. If I move the "file" statement to [sunos], it works fine.
What am I doing wrong here?
Thanks-
Jay

I believe only the first match counts in client-local.cfg.

Not in the original 4.2.0 release. There is a patch for this on http://www.hswn.dk/hobbitsw/patches/ in the "Enhancements" section. Henrik

Thanks Henrik, I went ahead and applied the patch cluster.
I am still having a problem with classes though; when I create a CLASS in hobbit-clients.cfg, like so:
CLASS=app
FILE /var/log/app/app.log size<1 red
and apply the class tag in bb-hosts, like so:
192.168.1.10 test # testip class=app
it is not picking up the FILE statement in the CLASS definition. If I change the CLASS definition to a HOST definition (with appropriate hostname), it works fine.
Thanks-
Jay
