I found you can use the client-local.cfg file....but im not really sure it
will work or not.  The man pages werent much help on this issue that is for
sure.

The ignore you are using is meant for alerting purposses, not for ignoring
the logs itself.
I'm also looking for a solution for this matter. Haven't found one yet.

Currently the only option I see is to disable the event logs on the windows
server itself. But that's not really an option is it. :-)

Hi everyone,

Does anyone monitor windows system logs?  When we installed the bbwin
client on the machine it started to just crazily send messages to xymon.
The harddrive for xymon went from 20% to 98% in one night.  I tried to
ignore logs but it still takes them in...

Its reading all the sucessful logins as well as the failures and logs them
so i get about 8 entries every second from all 189 hosts.

page=Wintel
        LOG %.*   %.*sucess.* IGNORE

this is what i tried to do to ignore them..


Has anyone ran into this issue before?

Thanks everyone...
