In config file server/etc/client-local.cfg you specify what logfile the client
will report to the server. You have to add a section for your client to it.
Once the client picks this up (to be sure restart the hobbit server and wait
at least 10 minutes), the msgs column should be green and the logfile should
appear on it.
Once this works, you can change hobbit-clients.cfg so the server knows the
yellow and green conditions.
