I've made an enhancement to the client-side "logfetch" utility so
that multiple ignore- and trigger-lines is possible. I just need to
do a bit more testing, and then I'll make it available.


Awesome!

Check if the configuration data makes it to the client. Does this
data show up in the client's ~hobbit/client/tmp/logfetch.HOSTNAME.cfg
file ?

If it does, then pick any status page from this host and click on the
"Client data" link near the bottom of the page. Look for the "[msgs:...]"
and "[logfile:...]" sections. Is there one for the client.nmbd.log file ?


A thanks to Chris Morris for solving this issue.  I can't believe I
missed it after staring that file for quite a while, but I was missing
the :SIZE part.  Adding that fixed it, and now the additional logs are
showing up.  I still have an issue with file permissions in OpenBSD,
but at least now it's not a Hobbit-related issue.
