No, the Hobbit client has log monitoring built-in.

First, add the logfile to the client-local.cfg file; /var/log/messages
is in there by default for most types of systems, so you can probably
skip that step.

Then you only need to setup the log monitoring in the hobbit-clients.cfg
file to specify what you want to look for in the log data. See the
hobbit-clients.cfg(5) man-page - the "msgs status column settings"
section.
