[Xymon] [PATCH] xymond - usermsg stats

Hello,

Using the Terabithia 4.3.30 RPMs, we noticed that on the 'xymond' web page the
incoming messages stats showed a lot of messages counted as 'Bogus/Unknown'.
Several thousand of them (although the number depends on how long Xymon has
been up and running).

It turned out that these were 'usermsg' messages. We run a lot of client tests
which report back their results over the user channel, so that explained that.

Looking at the xymond source we could see that the statistics did not cater for
'usermsg' messages. This patch corrects that. It is literally a one-line patch
of the 'xymond/xymond.c' file. Note that the location of the 'usermsg' entry in
the file was chosen simply to avoid a clash with the 'xymon.timeoutstats.patch'
already provided with the RPMs.



John.
