[Xymon] proc tracking graph not working.

I know for a fact that TEXT requires the quotes around the whole thing, as shown on line 303 of analysis.cfg, comments:

#	Example: Check that at least 5 "ssh" connections are established, but
#     not more than 10; warn but do not error; graph the connection count:
#     PORT "LOCAL=%([.:]22)$" state=ESTABLISHED min=5 max=20 color=yellow TRACK=        ssh "TEXT=SSH logins"


And I have the quotes around other TRACK entries that are working fine. It would be bad from a consistency standpoint to have TEXT and TRACK be different.

I'll check the dump-config.

Thanks,
Paul.

I believe the quotes need to be around the content, not the key, for the TEXT and TRACK values... And IIRC (could be wrong) the TRACK needs to be a space-less id, since it ends up in the name of the rrd file.

Can you run "xymoncmd xymond_client --dump-config" and paste the output?
It should help identify the problem here...
