[Xymon] monitoring log files

Yes, the hobbit user can open and read the log file -- I just verified.

 Subject: monitoring log files
 Greetings,
 first of all, thank you for answering my questions.
 
 
 
 I'm having an issue with xymon 4.3.7 on ubuntu 14.04
 with monitoring log files -- it's not reporting to the
 xymon server -- I want  to report to the xymon server when
 the word 'Warning' appears in the log file.
 
 
 
 
 I have a  hobbit client that is a MySQL server and the logs
 resides in /var/lib/mysql/error.log.
 
 
 
 On the xymon server in /etc/xymon/client-local.cfg, I
 configured this:
 
 
 
 [xxx.example.com]
 
 log:/var/lib/mysql/error.log:10240
 
 trigger Warning
 
 
 
 On the xymon server in the /etc/xymon/localclient.cfg, this
 is configured
 
 
 
 HOST=xxx.example.com
 
         LOG /var/lib/mysql/error.log Warning
 COLOR=red
 
 
 
 What am I missing, thanks in advance.
