[hobbit] LOG alert not showing yellow

[Sello Tlabela (SD)]

Hi Manocchia,

 

It could be access rights, if you are running hobbit using the init
script it will run as user hobbit and make sure that hobbit user can
read /var/log/messages

 

Regards

I have a small problem. I've set up monitoring of the
/var/log/messages logfile to search for the string "authentication
failure" and alert with a yellow button in the MSG column. I can see
the error displayed when I click on the button below the Msg column
header but it does not turn yellow.

 

 

 Below is the entry in the clients-local.cfg file:

 

[batman]

log:/var/log/messages:10240

ignore MARK

 

This is the entry in the hobbit-clients.cfg file:

 

HOST=batman

        LOG     /var/log/messages       authentication failure
color=yellow

 

Why doesn't this give me a yellow alert.

 

 Thanks
