howto run msgs check ?

[Nicolas]

Hi,

Os: FreeBSD 5.1
Server Hobbit: 4.2-RC-20060712
Client Hobbit: 4.2-RC-20060712

I m trying to configure trigger on msgs check but don't manage :(

here the configuration on server side, maybe there is a mistake :

Goal: report yellow/red alerts on some keyword in /var/log/messages

1. hobbit-clients.cfg on server side

HOST=baldo.tou.nu
       [...]
       LOG %/var/log/messages kernel COLOR=yellow
       LOG %/var/log/messages %(I/O|read).error COLOR=red
       LOG %/var/log/messages diff-bkp-mx-dom COLOR=red

2. client-local.cfg on server side

[freebsd]
log:/var/log/maillog:10240
file:/usr/local/bin/bash:md5
log:/var/log/messages:10240

[baldo.tou.nu]
file:/usr/local/bin/bash:md5
log:/var/log/messages:10240
trigger diff-bkp-mx-dom
trigger kernel
log:/var/log/maillog:10240
ignore spamd
trigger deferred


3. The [green]  msgs column of the host reports this:

No entries in /var/log/messages

No entries in /var/log/maillog

I know there is a permission problem for maillog but i don 't care at this
time, i d like to monitore /var/log/messages at first ;-)

Thanks in advance.
