Hi Paul,

Could you explain the last part: "Then you use msgs test not the log
test." please?  Do you mean do something with "msgs" in the alerts.cfg
file?  if so, what - could you give an example please?

Regards,

Yes,
        You set the log files to look at in client-local.cfg (on the server) in the proper machine type area.

        Then you edit the analysis.cfg file with the LOG command.

        Then you use msgs test not the log test.

Hi, is it possible to configure the alerts.cfg file to send an e-mail if a server's particular log has a certain entry?

I have

HOST=server-abc-ge1
   MAIL user-bbed4d766b23@xymon.invalid SERVICE=log COLOR=red

Can I put something like SERVICE=log:Fail.log="Big-Failure"
