Re: [hobbit] LOG alert not showing yellow



Try using this syntax (changing space with \s + pcre)
LOG /var/log/messages %authentication\sfailure color=yellow

Hi Manocchia,

It could be access rights, if you are running hobbit using the init script it will run as user hobbit and make sure that hobbit user can read /var/log/messages

I have a small problem. I've set up monitoring of the /var/log/messages logfile to search for the string "authentication failure" and alert with a yellow button in the MSG column. I can see the error displayed when I click on the button below the Msg column header but it does not turn yellow.

 Below is the entry in the clients-local.cfg file:

[batman]

log:/var/log/messages:10240

ignore MARK

This is the entry in the hobbit-clients.cfg file:

HOST=batman

LOG /var/log/messages authentication failure color=yellow

Why doesn't this give me a yellow alert.

 Thanks
