That was indeed it. I was expecting the same method (the backticks) would
work in both, never thought about a regex.
Thanks Thomas!

Hi Scot,
the command-substitution-style filename in analysis.cfg might be it. Try
to convert that to a regex. As your client-local.cfg only sends data for
your "good" files anyway this should produce the desired state.
All the best
Thomas

Hi everyone,
I’m trying to monitor for the existence of some files. I have the entries
in client-local.config, and when the files exist they are being reported
back properly. I can see the data about each file when I click on it in
the files area for the server. The problem comes when the files don’t
exist. The files entry for the server remains green, but when I click on
the file that I’m monitoring it says ERROR: No such file or directory. So
Xymon client is sending back that it doesn’t exist, but yet Xymon is still
green.
Here’s the client-local.cfg for that server:
[retvpgpdbak.na.lzb.hq]
file:`echo /automount/PITR/retvpgpdbak.na.lzb.hq/rms-prod-$(date +%F).pgc`
file:`echo /automount/PITR/retvpgpdbak.na.lzb.hq/rms-prod-$(date
+%F).sql.gz`
file:`echo /automount/PITR/retvpgpdbak.na.lzb.hq/basebackup-$(date
+%F).tgz`
file:`echo /automount/PITR/retvpgpdbak.na.lzb.hq/quartz-$(date +%F).pgc`
file:`echo /automount/PITR/retvpgpdbak.na.lzb.hq/quartz-$(date +%F).sql.gz`
And the analysis.cfg
HOST=retvpgpdbak.na.lzb.hq
FILE `echo /automount/PITR/retvpgpdbak.na.lzb.hq/rms-prod-$(date
+%F).pgc` red TYPE=file SIZE>0 MTIME<108000
From the man-page, Xymon is supposed to send an alert if the file doesn’t
exist… So the only thing I can think of is that my analysis.cfg entry is
wrong somehow.
