Hi,

I'm migrating from BBWin to the newest Xymon PS Client. However, there 
are some settings in the BBWin.cfg file that I can't seem to migrate to 
the analysis.cfg file.

In BBWin there are several message checks:
<msgs>
     <setting name="alwaysgreen" value="false" />
     <ignore logfile="Application" eventid="1000" />
     <ignore logfile="Application" eventid="16385" />
     <ignore logfile="Application" eventid="8198" />
     <ignore logfile="Application" eventid="489" />
     <ignore logfile="System" eventid="6038" />
     <setting name="delay" value="1h" />
     <match logfile="System" type="error" alarmcolor="red" />
     <match logfile="System" type="warning" alarmcolor="yellow" />
     <match logfile="Application" type="error" alarmcolor="red" />
     <match logfile="Application" type="warning" alarmcolor="yellow" />
     <match logfile="Security" type="fail" />
</msgs>

but how do I migrate those to analysis.cfg? There seem to be two options:
1) LOG eventlog_application    %^warning    COLOR=red
2) LOG eventlog:Application    %warning    COLOR=red

Is there a difference between these two notations and is it even 
possible to migrate the settings of BBWin.cfg to the analysis.cfg?

Kind regards,

Timothy
