This is the file you want to monitor and what you want to monitor.

Is your xymon setup in central mode or local mode?
By default xymon is setup in central mode.
So you’d want this in the client-local.cfg and the analysis.cfg on the server.

Hi all.
I am really struggling to understand how to monitor msgs in xymon. I have read the man pages over anhd over and nothing I am doing seems to work.
In the client I have the following files in ~/client/etc
client-local.cfg:
log:/var/log/messages:4096
localclient.cfg:
LOG /var/log/messages warn COLOR=red
The actual msgs report in the xymon web page says
"
System logs at Fri May 30 10:29:38 BST 2014 : No log data available
The client did not report any logfile data
"
I need a dummies guide to msgs monitoring!
If anyone could provide such a beast i would be immensely grateful.
cheers
Ian
