After searching the Hobbit mailing list, I believe the answer to this question is "no". All I found is mention of how Henrik first created the linecount functionality (http://www.hswn.dk/hobbiton/2006/06/msg00084.html).

So it looks like I will have to implement this myself. I'm thinking this would be easiest to do as a *server* side ext script, rather than client, since I am using the linecount option, the hobbit client is already sending the number of times the keyword appears in the /client data/. Here's a snippet of my client data message for a particular host:

[linecount:/apps/apache/logs/access_main_log]
SessionTimeouts: 1683

*So I guess my question is now, how can I access client data for a host from a server side ext script?* I tried doing a recursive grep for "Session" in the data and tmp directories, and found nothing?

Is this possible without an ext script?
