[hobbit] Problem to check logs with Hobbit

One of the behaviors of the log message monitor is it only sends logs if there is a problem.  I think they hang around for 30 minutes or so.  Not exactly clear if it is triggering and not sending.

I also added this on the localclient.cfg file from the server :
     $ cat localclient.cfg
        ...
        HOST=Suspendisse
        LOG /var/log/messages MARK COLOR=RED
        ...
     $

But I don't have any logs coming up in the Hobbit web interface : The
client did not report any logfile data
Where could be the problem? Anyone here check its log files without any
problem?
