Yes.
First make sure the client is sending the content of the file so you have 
something under the files check.  This can be configured in client-local.cfg 
(see the manpage for the correct syntax).  You can also check the tmp 
directory on the client.  There should be some files with the relevant lines 
from client-local.cfg.  It will also take some time (10 minutes) before the 
client picks up the changed config and start sending lines.

Next step is in hobbit-clients.cfg where you can configure what will be 
triggering a red or yellow error.

So, first make sure the client is sending lines from the logfile and then 
confgure what will trigger red/yellow.
