Hi all

I have the following in my hobbit-clients.cfg on the Xymon server
---
CLASS=win32
       LOAD 80 90 # Load threholds are in %
       PORT "LOCAL=%([.:]20000)$" TEXT=RemotelyAnywhere
       LOG %.*  %error -.* COLOR=yellow
       LOG eventlog:Security  %failure.* COLOR=yellow
       LOG eventlog:Application  %warning.* COLOR=yellow
IGNORE="%(Warning: IIS log failed to write entry|Many client computers
have not reported back|Unsuccessful logon attempt from IP address .*
Secure (SSL) Connection).*"
       LOG eventlog:System %error.* COLOR=yellow
---

I'm finding that I'm still getting warnings coming up from the WSUS
server regarding the clients that have not checked.

Could someone advise what I'm doing wrong here?

Thanks

Oh, and you don't need the .* on the end of the string.

Hi Steve

Thanks for the tips but unfortunately, these strings are still not
being ignored.  I'm wondering if the problem is in 'client-local.cfg'.
 At the top of 'hobbit-clients.cfg' it says that both files need to be
configured but I don't see an example for Windows event logs.  How do
you have client-local.cfg configured for Windows logs?

Thanks

CC
