Well I did wonder myself. But the count of status messages determines the
percentages for the number of green, red etc messages (as shown on the xymongen
web page). So if the number is wrong, then so are those percentages.

The thing is that 'clientlog' is not a test. It does not report back as red or
yellow, it's always green (unless I've misinterpreted something). Because of
this the number of green messages does not truly reflect the number of green
'test' results. So it could be argued that the status count should record all
status messages, or it should only record those from actual tests and the
'info, 'trends' and 'clientlog' messages should be ignored.
