Hmm, that looks ok to me.
You could cheat at do:
log:`ls /path/to/server_logs/201*`:102400
That wouldn't break until 2020.
A couple of things though. After changing client-local.cfg you need to restart xymon. Then it still takes way more time than I think it should for something to show up.
Inevitably, I get impatient and walk away, that's when it starts up, figures out what I did wrong, marks something red and pages the oncall.

Dear Paul,
thank you for the examples. According to this I tried the following
lines, but they did not work:
log:`ls /path/to/server_logs/$(date +%Y%m%d)`:102400
file:`ls /path/to/server_logs/$(date +%Y%m%d)`
Can you tell me please, how to escape the date-command?
Regards
Oliver
