Two config files need to be modified in Hobbit for log-file alerting:<br>1) client-local.cfg, which controls _which files_ will be parsed for alerting<br>2) hobbit-clients.cfg, which controls _how_ the logs will be parsed<br>
<br><div><span class="gmail_quote">There is a section in the Hobbit help files which explain how to set these two files up. Please post the contents of these files if you're still having problems. It took me a little trial-and-error to get log alerting to work right, but once I got it set up, it's a piece of cake to any anything new.
