Hi,
That part work just fine.
Anything the * expands to will be picked up by xymon.
My question is the FILE directive in the analysis.cfg
If I just set it to
FILE /var/tmp/sys-heartbeat-myhost red MTIME<3700
Everything works just fine.
But,
If I change it to:
FILE /var/tmp/sys-heartbeat-myhostttt red MTIME<3700
If I read the manual correctly it should go RED because there is no file called /var/tmp/sys-heartbeat-myhostttt
If I touch the new myhostttt file it will show up on the test page
That means the
file:`ls -1 /var/tmp/sys-heartbeat-*`
Works just fine as it should.
So how do I get the files test go RED on a missing file?
OK, I had to do some testing with this.
The problem is that when the file does not exist, then the `ls -1 ...` will not produce any output. Without any output, Xymon cannot tell that there is a file-check happening.
If you have an explicit filename in client-local.cfg, then the FILE check in analysis.cfg works as expected, because the xymon client will report that the specific file is missing.
So:
client-local.cfg:
[myhost]
file:/var/tmp/sys-heartbeat-myhost
analysis.cfg
HOST=myhost
FILE %^/var/tmp/sys-heartbeat-.* MTIME<3700
This will go red if the file is missing, or it exists and is older than 3700 seconds.
