[hobbit] client-local.cfg not propagating

[Peters, Ron]

The client actually isn't sending information about these files.  As I understand the script (hobbitclient.sh) that is running (on the client), it calls the logfetch utility that gathers the information about the files/msgs I want.  What I'm seeing is that the hobbitclient.sh should create the .../hobbit/tmp/logfetch.uname.cfg that contains the list of files that should be monitored.  This part isn't happening.  Not sure how the list of files is gathered from the hobbit server.  I'd like to see some debug from that process to find out what is wrong.

More thoughts?

Thanks again...

Watch out - the client-local.cfg settings only determine which files the
client will report data for. To actually get a real (green/red/yellow)
status message, you need to configure hobbit-clients.cfg as well,
telling Hobbit how to analyze the data it gets about these files.

It sounds like you're on the right track - the client is sending data
about the files you want to watch - but you just need to configure the
analysis part of Hobbit.
