<p class="MsoNormal">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.<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">As above, need to verify server can handle UTF8. I suspect the clientlog message must be all one encoding - can't just do eventlog section in UTF8 and the rest in ASCII.<br>
