Actually, I have to correct myself...it's flapping and now I need to figure
out why since that is a different problem.  To your point, Paul, that is
essentially exactly what I have (obviously with different paths).  I
suspect now it has to do with 'fetch'.

For example, in client-local.cfg:
file:`find /var/lib/systemd/coredump/ -maxdepth 1 -type f`

and analysis.cfg
FILE %/var/lib/systemd/coredump/core.* red NOEXIST

I may eventually change that to yellow but I just added a new app to the
systems and it was supposed to behave :-).

client-local.cfg:file:`ls /core.*`

analysis.cfg:        FILE         %^/core.* YELLOW NOEXIST

Ok...this is weird.  I have Xymon triggering when a file (coredump) exists
but it only turns red when a new file shows up...it should remain red until
the files are cleaned up.  After the next update cycle it goes green yet
the page shows that it sees the files.  Any thoughts on this behavior?  I
have another "file exists" test that is behaving as expected (at least I
think it is).


thanks
