[hobbit] Reprioritize an alert

[Smith, Cathy]

There isn't a rule, and I need to create one.  This message from the
event log gets flagged as Red in the msgs column. I realize that hobbit
does age it out, but the owner doesn't want that specific message
reported.

Reprioritize is probably the wrong terminology.  If there is a rule in
hobbit-clients.cfg for that server and the owner wants it removed, then
just remove them.  The default behaviour is to not monitor log entries.

The column should eventually turn white.  If it turns purple, you may
need to remove the historical log entries.  If it's a specific rule that
needs to be removed, then delete it from hobbit-clients.cfg for that
host.

See the man page of hobbit-clients.cfg for details.
