RE: [hobbit] FILE monitor and mtime<600 troubleshooting

I have had problems with the placement of thing in the .cfg files.

 

Try moving the lines to the very top of the before anything else. This will
let you know if any of the other entries are causing problem.

 

At one time I had an empty class name before a hostname of the same class
and nothing worked. When I moved the host name above all the class names it
started working.

Hi,

 

I'm running Hobbit 4.2.0 with the allinone patch on hpux and can't get the
FILE monitor to work. I've added the required file: entry in the
client-local.cfg for the host, then put the FILE directive in the
hobbit-clients.cfg file. After adding the monitor, the BBDISPLAY picks up
the new file and shows it as 'green'. When testing the monitor by changing
the mtime of my file, hobbit doesn't alert on the change.

 

Here's my hobbit-client.cfg entry:

 

CLASS=classname

         FILE /etc/sudoers yellow mtime<600

 

The client-local.cfg entry:

 

[classname]

file:/etc/sudoers

 

 

Has anyone else seen this before or have any advice on how to troubleshoot?

 

 

Thanks,
