Charles, <br>I had read the man page, honest. I read the following:<br><br>
"logfilename" is the name of the logfile. Only logentries from this filename
will be matched against this rule. Note that "logfilename" can be a regular
expression (if prefixed with a '%' character).<br><br>to mean that %.* would match all logfilenames. Guest not, huh?<br><br>Thanks, I'll try that. <br><br>Steve.<br><br><br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">

Your syntax is wrong. For logfile monitoring you must have the
following in hobbit-clients.cfg:<br>
<b>LOG logfilename pattern [COLOR=color] [IGNORE=excludepattern]</b><br>
<br>
So, using one of your examples below, it should be:<br>
<br>
LOG /var/adm/messages WARNING COLOR=yellow<br>
<br>
If you need a reference just check the man pages, either on your Hobbit
instance, or at:<br>

I may not be understanding how the LOG match-pattern works. <br>
<br>
In my hobbit-clients.cfg file I have under the DEFAULT section the
following:<br>
<br>
LOG %.* NOTICE<br>
LOG %.* ERROR<br>
LOG %.* WARNING COLOR=yellow
<br>
LOG %.* notice COLOR=yellow<br>
LOG %.* error COLOR=yellow<br>
LOG %.* daemon.error COLOR=yellow<br>
LOG %.* warning COLOR=yellow<br>
LOG %.* warn COLOR=yellow<br>
<br>
At the moment on my hobbit server I have a green status for the host
mentor and the following messages in /var/adm/messages:

<br>
The above is copied from the hobbit display reached by clicking on the
[/var/adm/messages] link on the msgs page for this host. <br clear="all">
<br>
In the client-local.cfg I have:<br>
<br>
[sunos]<br>
log:/var/adm/messages:10240
<br>
<br>
<br>
So why is the page green? There are at least 3 strings that should
match to turn it yellow, right? And incidentally, the BB server I'm
running on another host *does* show yellow. I'm trying to validate my
hobbit configuration by making sure it matches the running BB server.
And it doesn't for msgs, ever. <br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
Steve.<br>
