Here is a file I want to get the 'mtime' for:

I think the colons in the filename are the problem. A ':' is also the delimiter in file "file:FILENAME[:hash]" entry in client-local.cfg, so when parsing the "file:..." line it cuts off the filename at the first colon.

It should work if you use the 'run-command-to-generate-filenames'
thing, i.e. in client-local.cfg you have
   file:`/usr/local/bin/snmpfilename`
and then the /usr/local/bin/snmpfilename script on your client host
generates these filenames.

Well, it works now, but I reported it not working on May 13 at 15:39 GMT using the same command technique.

It is still has some issues, however. Here is what the output looks like on the web page:

yellow /export/home/netx/Archive/nxg21/nxg21:SIG_SNMP/mci-nornxdb05.SNMP_COMMUNITY.public.nxg21:SIG_SNMP.2006May21
File was modified 154 seconds ago - should be <0


yellow
/export/home/netx/Archive/nxg21/nxg21:TEST/mci-nornxdb06.SNMP_COMMUNITY.public.nxg21:TEST.2006May16
File was modified 476411 seconds ago - should be <0

'should be <0' ? Perhaps that should be what the test is in hobbit-clients.cfg entry:

       FILE "%.*SIG_SNMP.*" yellow mtime<300
       FILE "%.*TEST.*" yellow mtime<100

'should be <300' and 'should be <100'?

Both Rich Smrcina and I think that reads backwards, but it's not that big of a deal. If I have it correctly, it reads as, 'if file mtime is NOT less than 300 seconds then alarm'? Assuming that, the *TEST* file is firing a yellow alarm correctly, the test for the *SNMP* file is also reported as yellow, that would not be correct. If I change both tests to '>' they remain green.

For completeness here is the client-local.cfg:

file:`ls -drt /export/home/netx/Archive/nxg21/nxg21*SIG_SNMP/*|tail -1`
file:`ls -drt /export/home/netx/Archive/nxg21/nxg21*TEST/*|tail -1`

Thank you for your hard work on Hobbit!

So then I realize in client-local.cfg on the server you have to have a command or file entry that will resolve to one and only one full path filename? You can, however, use a regular expression in hobbit-clients.cfg to create a line to match more than 1 file entry in client-local.cfg per host?

Correct.
