Here's some sample lines that I have running in my analysis.cfg file on the 
Xymon Server.? It's checking the log files it gets from the client and if it 
sees the specifics I'm looking for it will flag an alert. This of course 
assumes that your client is sending logs that appear in the 'msgs' column of 
your Xymon Server.

HOST=boxA
#LOG filename match-pattern [COLOR=color] [IGNORE=ignore-pattern] [TEXT=displaytext]
LOG       %.* [2004] COLOR=red IGNORE=FIPS
LOG       %.* [7034] COLOR=red
LOG       %.* [6417] IGNORE
LOG       %.* [4624] COLOR=yellow

That works. It is all so simple when you know what to do! :-)
Thanks for that.

Hopefully someone else finds this useful.

 Hi,

 I am using the win_ps_client to monitor a bunch of windows servers. In
 looking
 at the documentation it appears that I should be able to get Xymon to
 alert
 on different events.

 I have added
 eventlogswanted:information,Application,System:2048:Warning,Critical,error
 to client-local.cfg and eventlog:System in the analysis.cfg file. When I
 do
 this I see various messages when I click on msgs dot. However, I cannot
 figure
 out how to get it to turn red when it sees the events I want to monitor.

 In the docs I see mention of include and exclude parameters but I do not
 understand exactly how I need to configure things.

 I would like to be able to alert on certain windows event IDs Is this
 possible?
 If yes, how do I actually configure xymon to do this?
