This is the line from hobbit-clients.cfg that works:<br> DIR /u01/app/oracle/diag/tnslsnr/stmmdb2/listener/alert/RED SIZE<20100100100 TRACK<br><br>I don't have a corresponding client-local.cfg due to our environment<br>

<br>
So you should only add this to the correct host in client-local.cfg.<br>
dir:/var/adm<br>

<br>
>From the man-page:<br>
"A directory monitoring entry is used to watch the size of a directory and any sub-directories. It looks like this:<br>
<br>
<br>
dir:DIRECTORYNAME<br>
<br>
The dir:DIRECTORYNAME line defines the filename of the file to monitor. As with the "log:" entries, a filename enclosed in backticks means a command which will generate the filenames dynamically. The Xymon client will run the du(1) command with the directoryname as parameter, and send the output back to the Xymon server."<br>
