I wrote that code. From memory, the xymon server could only handle
the clientlog message in ASCII at the time, and forcing the
translation to ASCII was a key part to getting it working. If the
constraint of ASCII clientlog message has changed, then by all means
feel free to convert to UTF8, however some users may still be
running old servers that can only handle ASCII, so best to leave it
configurable.<br>
<br>
You'd need to test that all client-based tests (DISK, SVC, PORT,
PROC, etc) are still working not just eventlog message matching.<span class="gmail-"><br></span></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>I try multiple tests with client messages in UTF8. <span id="gmail-result_box" class="gmail-" lang="en"><span class="gmail-">First,</span> <span class="gmail-">I will describe</span> <span>our</span> <span class="gmail-">environment</span><span>.</span> <span>We use two Xymon servers (versions 4.3.25, 4.3.27), both are</span><span> running</span> <span>on </span><span>Linux boxes</span> <span>(</span><span>CentOS</span><span>,</span> <span>Debian</span><span>)</span> with LANG=<span>en_US.UTF</span><span>-</span><span>8.</span> <span>Apache web server </span></span><span id="gmail-result_box" class="gmail-" lang="en"><span>has</span> <span>set</span> <span>the default</span> <span>encoding to</span> <span class="gmail-">UTF-8.<br><br><br></span></span></div><div><span id="gmail-result_box" class="gmail-" lang="en"><span class="gmail-">Client tests DISK, UP,</span></span><span id="gmail-result_box" class="gmail-" lang="en"><span class="gmail-">MEMHYS,MEMSWAP and MEMACT are without problems, because corresponding sections from clientlog are in English. <br></span></span></div><span id="gmail-result_box" class="gmail-" lang="en"><span class="gmail-">CLOCK test are working correctly, because first line "epoch: <number>" from [clock] section isn't localized.<br><br><br></span></span></div><div class="gmail_quote"><span id="gmail-result_box" class="gmail-" lang="en"><span class="gmail-">Tests LOG, PROC, SVC and PORT successfully filter non-ASCII strings.
