Hello,
 
  I'm starting to deploy Hobbit on my company network to replace an  old
BigBrother install. I installed Hobbit on a server and started some test
with the client on different recent Linux 2.6.
  My first problem was that the config the alert for a specific host.
The only way I've found is to configure alerts on the localclient.cfg of
each client. If not, any information could be monitored by the server (I
used to configure hobbit-clients.cfg & bb-hosts on the server but it
never works :-/)
  Anyway, it works by choosing the configuration on the client. All my
Debian/Ubuntu are monitored at the moment.
 
  I installed the client on SunOS, it starts fine, I've configured the
localclient.cfg on the client, bb-hosts on the server. The only thing
monitored is the "conn"... looks at the Sun  localclient.cfg :
 
          DEFAULT
                  # Uptime mini
                  UP      1h
          
                  # Decalage d'horloge en sec
                  CLOCK   120
          
                  # Memoire
                  MEMPHYS 100 101
                  MEMSWAP 50 80
                  MEMACT  90 97
          
                  # Load average
                  LOAD    2.0 5.0
          
                  # Espace disque
                  DISK    /               70 90
          
                  # Processus
                  PROC    master  1       yellow
                  PROC    smbd    1       red
                  PROC    nmbd    1       red
                  PROC    ypbind  1       yellow
                  PROC    apache2 5    20   red
          
                  # Fichiers
                  FILE /var/adm/messages  SIZE>0 MTIME<1200 yellow
                  FILE /var/adm/messages  yellow  "timed out!"
          
                  # LOG
                  LOG %/var/adm/messages %(I/O|read).error COLOR=red

I have the same problem with BBWin, here is the bbwin.cfg :
