<font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">I am having issues with
getting Hobbit to report log entries from client log files. The server
is getting the log data but, despite a valid string entry in the log
file, no alerts are generated.<br>
<br>
Here is an excerpt from my client-local.cfg file:<br>
<br>
<font face="Courier New, Courier, monospace">[hosta-z1]<br>
log:/var/adm/messages:10240</font><br>
<br>
And a corresponding entry from the hobbit-clients.cfg file:<br>
<font face="Courier New, Courier, monospace"><br>
HOST=hosta-z1<br>
LOG /var/adm/messages sshd COLOR=red</font><br>
<br>
The status never changes for this host despite sshd entries existing in
the /var/adm/messages file. I used "sshd" because I KNOW that there
are current entries in /var/adm/messages since everytime hobbit runs an
ssh check on the server an sshd message is generated. I have chosen
this string just to troubleshoot this problem...<br>
<br>
Clicking on "msgs" for this host, there is a message "No entries in
/var/adm/messages". But if I click on the "/var/adm/messages" link it
shows recent entries with the sshd string in the log file as the
following shows:<br>

<font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">Does anyone know what the
problem may be? Is there possibly any known issues with Hobbit logging
under Solaris 10 Update 3 for SPARC? I have tried almost everything I
can think of to get this to work and I am getting no where.<br>
<br>
Thanks in advance for any help.<br>
