[hobbit] monitor files,log msgs,

[Haertig, David F (Dave)]

Your client-local.cfg syntax is wrong.  client-local tells hobbit what
to upload, hobbit-client tells Hobbit how to use what it uploaded.  You
have the two files configured the same, which is wrong.  Also, you don't
need anything on the client side if you're running Hobbit in the typical
manner.  The client-local.cfg data is downloaded from the server to the
client automatically.
 
Try something more like this:

 

Client-local.cfg

[nj1db200pt]

file:/home/monitor/test

file:/var/log/

log:/var/adm/messages:4096


The default copies of all these files are commented heavily at the top
showing all this syntax.

Subject: [hobbit] monitor files,log msgs,



I have been trying to monitor files and messages.but no luck.

On server side I have edited following files and given entries

hobbit-client.cfg

    HOST=nj1db200pt 

       FILE  /home/monitor/test mtime>600 red

       DIR %^/var/log TRACK

       LOG /var/adm/messages  WARNING COLOR=yellow

Client-local.cfg

      

     [nj1db200pt]

    FILE  /home/monitor/test mtime>600 red

   DIR %^/var/log TRACK

   LOG /var/adm/messages  WARNING COLOR=yellow

On Client side

           

    HOST=nj1db200pt

     FILE  /home/monitor/test mtime>600 red

     DIR %^/var/log TRACK

     LOG /var/adm/messages  WARNING COLOR=yellow

  Do I have to edit any other files. or I am doing something wrong. I
can see any output. I can see only white icon.help me monitorl logs and
messages
