First you must setup the client-local.cfg file to tell the client what
logs to monitor. I wrote about this in a previous mail.

Then you can define LOG entries in the hobbit-clients.cfg file, to
define which entries go yellow or red.

The configuration is stored in ~hobbit/server/etc/hobbit-nkview.cfg .
Note that this file must be writable by the user/group running your CGI
scripts - typically, you'd do
   touch hobbit-nkview.cfg
   chgrp nobody hobbit-nkview.cfg
In fact, "make install" ought to do that...

You should be able to edit it with the hobbit-nkedit CGI.

I know ... I have been putting this off because I'd really like to re-do
the entire HTML build into something much more "modern" - based on CSS,
XML and XSLT. That would give us a lot more flexibility, and require
less code.

I've heard that request from others as well. One more reason why I'd
like to move away from the static HTML that Hobbit currently generates.
