[hobbit] hobbit color-changing issue

[White, Bruce]

At the top of the client-local.cfg file it says: 

"The Hobbit Client will only report back entries generated in the past 30
minutes..."

Are you sure its only 15 minutes and not 30 minutes?  I can't find anything
in either the client-local.cfg nor the hobbit-clients.cfg which controls the
time associated with what messages will be processed.

Subject: [hobbit] hobbit color-changing issue

Hello,

I have a small hobbit issue.
I want hobbit to go red every time the word "/evicted/" shows up in 
/var/log/messages on some hosts. So the part in /hobbit-clients.cfg/ is 
as follows:

      HOST=%cn4[3-6]*-hp
      PROC    "%syslogd" 1 1 red
      PROC    "%/usr/sbin/nscd" 1 red
      PROC    "%iscsid" 2 2 red
      LOAD    16.5 20.0
      LOG     %/var/log/messages %(?-i)evicted|Oops|ALERT|NOTICE COLOR=red
      LOG     %/var/log/messages 
%(?-i)LustreError|WARNING|FAILED|kernel|failing|ILLEGAL COLOR=yellow


The Part in client-local.cfg:

        [cn44-hp]
        log:/var/log/messages:10240
        ignore MARK
        trigger ALERT
        trigger .*(dumping log to)|(evicted).*
        file:/var/log/messages

The Issue:
Every time I put the word "/evicted/" manually in the messages file, 
hobbit will go red for about 15 minutes. That's fine. If I put a second 
line with the word "/kernel/" in the messages file, a second (yellow) 
line appears in the mesgs column. That's also fine.  Hobbit is still 
red, but stays that way only for about 15 minutes. After the 15 minutes, 
it changes to yellow and the "/evicted/" warning is gone. It stays 
yellow for another 15 minutes, and then it turns green.

The messages file is really small (under 10 KByte) and not much is being 
written in it. That's why hobbit must stay red all the time!?!

I searched for the number 900 in server/etc, but nothing matches (exept 
some proxy configuration).
Does anyone have an Idea what or where the problem could be?
Greetings
Georgi
