[hobbit] configuration of bbwin clients in Hobbit

[Chris Strzelczyk]

Hello, I am having a really hard time getting Hobbit to ignore Windows error
log messages.  I searched the groups and can not find an answer that differs
from my setup.  Yet it does not work for me.

Also, does anyone have the CLASS=win32 feature to work.  Currently I am
filtering by hostnames, but I would like to filter by CLASS.  I have the
following in my files.

bb-hosts:
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx   stfwin6 # COMMENT:"WINDOWS TESTING SERVER"

My client-local.cfg:

[stfwin6]
log:system
ignore TermServDevices

[win32]

My hobbit-clients.cfg:

HOST=stfwin6
        LOG %.* %WARNING  COLOR=yellow
        LOG %.* %ERROR  COLOR=yellow


In client-local.cfg I tried the log keyword as well as the eventlog keyword.

Thank You
