No, you can have a per-machine specification in addition to the platform
specification:
The file is divided into sections, delimited by "[name]" lines. A
section name can be either an operating system identifier - linux,
solaris, hp-ux,
aix, freebsd, openbsd, netbsd, darwin - or a hostname. When
deciding which section to send to a client, Xymon will first look for a
section named
after the hostname of the client; if such a section does not exist,
it will look for a section named by the operating system of the client. So
you can
configure special configurations for individual hosts, and have a
default configuration for all other hosts of a certain type.
Thanks,
Larry Barber

Oops, mis-typed, and if I only wanted it for one host? Or is the only
option to have all machines of that platform send that data despite it only
existing on one system? I was under the impression that both types of
specification, hosts and platforms were available in client-local.cfg.

Well it should be client-local.cfg not client.local.cfg. and it
isn’t a per machine definition, it’s a platform definition. You’d want
something like:
[linux]
File:/mnt/fs/test

I am trying to monitor a file, this file is located at /mnt/fs/test,
however, when I configure it in client-local.cfg and analysis.cfg I still
get the "No Files Checked" message with a clear status. Is there something
I'm missing here?
analysis.cfg:
HOST=hostname.domain.com
FILE /mnt/fs/test SIZE>1 COLOR=red
client.local.cfg:
HOST=hostname.domain.com
file:/mnt/fs/test
I have other entries, such as LOG configured under this host, and they
work fine, but just this file test.
Any help is appreciated,
Jamison Maxwell
