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

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?
Regards,
