[hobbit] Problem to check logs with Hobbit

[Kauffman, Tom]

I checked - the allinone patch has significant changes for logfetch.c, the client-side program that processes the log file.

Hi & thanks once again for you tutorial but that's crazy, I still can't see any log reported to the server!
I'm monitoring oracle & mysql databases, Netapp filers, DNS, DHCP, smtp, imap, firewall via devmons, SAP via
CheckMySAP plugin, a lot processes on 4 different OS, etc... but I'm incapable to monitor a nasty log
file :-/
 Is there some well-know bugs about this issue? I'm using Hobbit 4.2.0 without allinonepatch.

  Thanks for any help

    Best regards,

      LMJ
