RE: [hobbit] Accessing "client data" from a server side ext script? (Re: [hobbit] Alerting on number of times a keyword appers in a logfile?)

Use CLIENT side.  Much easier.  Don't try to leverage what the client is
already doing.

	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?
