[hobbit] log file monitoring

The logfile monitor only includes the last 30 minutes of data from the
logfile. It does this by tracking where it last read from the logfile;
you have:

> On the client the tmp-files are:
> wiesel bb> cat logfetch.wiesel.status
> /var/adm/messages:654:654:654:654:654:654:654

meaning that for the past 7 runs of the Hobbit client, the logfile was
654 bytes. If it doesn't grow, no data is sent to Hobbit.

And before you ask: No, there is currently no configuration option
which lets you can change that interval of 30 minutes.


Regards,
Henrik
