RE: [hobbit] Problem to check logs with Hobbit

["Kauffman, Tom" <KauffmanT (at) nibco.com>]

On your hobbit server -

1) set up etc/client-local.cfg to reference the logs you want AND any exclusions. For AIX, I have:
[aix]
log:/var/log/syslog:10240
        ignore 3004-004
        ignore 3004-035
        ignore 3004
log:/var/log/console.log:10240
log:/var/log/dsmsched.log:10240

2) set up etc/hobbit-clients.cfg to create your alerting criteria. For AIX, I've got these set:
HOST=%.*
          LOG /var/log/syslog %.*crit.su.*to.root red
        LOG /var/log/syslog %.*crit.su   yellow
        LOG %/var/(adm|log)/console.log %.*not.responding.still.trying yellow


Change client-local.cfg first. Allow 15 to 20 minutes for this to propagate to the client; look for a file called logfetch.<hostname>.cfg in client/tmp. This should match your entries in client-local.cfg.

Once the logs sart coming in, play with the client-local.cfg and a test system, to track what you're interested in.

 I re-up this topic because I can't find a way to monitor any log files with Hobbit on any clients (Linux,
AIX, Solaris) Is there an example somewhere I can follow (I already man'ed and google'd).

  Thanks by advance
