<p>Hi everyone,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p>I’m trying to monitor for the existence of some files. I have the entries in client-local.config, and when the files exist they are being reported back properly. I can see the data about each file when I click on it in the files area for the server. The
problem comes when the files don’t exist. The files entry for the server remains green, but when I click on the file that I’m monitoring it says ERROR: No such file or directory. So Xymon client is sending back that it doesn’t exist, but yet Xymon is still
green. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Here’s the client-local.cfg for that server:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p>[retvpgpdbak.na.lzb.hq]<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>file:`echo /automount/PITR/retvpgpdbak.na.lzb.hq/rms-prod-$(date +%F).pgc`<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>file:`echo /automount/PITR/retvpgpdbak.na.lzb.hq/rms-prod-$(date +%F).sql.gz`<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>file:`echo /automount/PITR/retvpgpdbak.na.lzb.hq/basebackup-$(date +%F).tgz`<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>file:`echo /automount/PITR/retvpgpdbak.na.lzb.hq/quartz-$(date +%F).pgc`<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>file:`echo /automount/PITR/retvpgpdbak.na.lzb.hq/quartz-$(date +%F).sql.gz`<o:p></o:p></p>
<p> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p>And the analysis.cfg<o:p></o:p></p>
<p> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p>HOST=retvpgpdbak.na.lzb.hq<o:p></o:p></p>
<p> FILE `echo /automount/PITR/retvpgpdbak.na.lzb.hq/rms-prod-$(date +%F).pgc` red TYPE=file SIZE>0 MTIME<108000
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p>From the man-page, Xymon is supposed to send an alert if the file doesn’t exist… So the only thing I can think of is that my analysis.cfg entry is wrong somehow.
