[Xymon] Log file monitoring

[Neil Simmonds]

Hi all,

 

Perhaps we have unusual requirements but I've discovered an issue with
Log file monitoring that I could do with a solution for.

 

If we get some error messages in a log file than the msgs icon will
successfully change colour, however if the next polling interval get's
no error messages then it will revert to green.

 

Unfortunately in our environment it is entirely possible that this brief
colour change could be missed. 

 

I know I can configure alerts.cfg to send an alert out if we get any
errors but what I would really like is a way to keep the colour change
for a period of time after the log file entries appear. 

 

A bit like the new delayred/delayyellow functions but in reverse.

 

Regards,
