Is your xymon setup in central mode or local mode?
 
By default xymon is setup in central mode.
 
So you’d want this in the client-local.cfg and the analysis.cfg on the server.

Hi all.
 
I am really struggling to understand how to monitor msgs in xymon. I have read the man pages over anhd over and nothing I am doing seems to work.
 
In the client I have the following files  in ~/client/etc
 
client-local.cfg:
log:/var/log/messages:4096
 
localclient.cfg:
LOG /var/log/messages warn COLOR=red
 
The actual msgs report in the xymon web page says
 
" 
System logs at Fri May 30 10:29:38 BST 2014 : No log data available
The client did not report any logfile data 
"
 
 
I need a dummies guide to msgs monitoring!
 
If anyone could provide such a beast i would be immensely grateful.

cheers
 
Ian
