[Xymon] problem with LOG and IGNORE in analysis.cfg

[Lee, Raymond]

Hi,

I have a server running Xymon 4.3.4 with a pretty basic analysis.cfg:

        DEFAULT
                # These are the built-in defaults.
                UP      1h
                LOAD    5.0 10.0
                DISK    * 90 95
                MEMPHYS 100 101
                MEMSWAP 50 80
                MEMACT  90 97
                LOG /var/adm/messages %ERROR|WARNING COLOR=red IGNORE=TEST



However, the IGNORE doesn't seem to work for the LOG line:

        (xymon)@xymon:~$ /home/xymon/server/bin/xymond_client --test
        Hostname (.=end, ?=dump, !=reload) []: hostname.domain.com
        Hosttype []: sunos
        Test (cpu, mem, disk, proc, log, port): log
        log filename: /var/adm/messages
        To read log data from a file, enter '@FILENAME' at the prompt
        log line: ERROR this is just a TEST
        log line:
        Log status is red

        &red ERROR this is just a TEST



What's funnier is that the log lines that should trigger a red alert are turning out to be green:

        (xymon)@xymon:~$ /home/xymon/server/bin/xymond_client --test
        Hostname (.=end, ?=dump, !=reload) []: hostname.domain.com
        Hosttype []: sunos
        Test (cpu, mem, disk, proc, log, port): log
        log filename: /var/adm/messages
        To read log data from a file, enter '@FILENAME' at the prompt
        log line: this ERROR should be red
        log line:
        Log status is green



Am I not using the LOG and IGNORE correctly in analysis.cfg, or is this a bug?


Thanks,
Ray
