Two config files need to be modified in Hobbit for log-file alerting: 1) client-local.cfg, which controls _which files_ will be parsed for alerting 2) hobbit-clients.cfg, which controls _how_ the logs will be parsed
There is a section in the Hobbit help files which explain how to set these two files up. Please post the contents of these files if you're still having problems. It took me a little trial-and-error to get log alerting to work right, but once I got it set up, it's a piece of cake to any anything new.
Since I move everything over to hobbit, the messages monitoring
seems to have changed. I get no alerts on /var/adm/messages file
anymore.
We just had a database server crater, and the /var/adm/messages file
was full of VCS errors. I'm also not getting notified of SCSI errors I've
seen on other machines.
Am I missing something? Should I have configured something else?
Thanks…James
