Does the xymon user have permission to read the file?

Hi all.

I am really struggling to understand how to monitor msgs in xymon. I have
read the man pages over anhd over and nothing I am doing seems to work.

In the client I have the following files  in ~/client/etc

client-local.cfg:
log:/var/log/messages:4096

localclient.cfg:
LOG /var/log/messages warn COLOR=red

The actual msgs report in the xymon web page says

"   System logs at Fri May 30 10:29:38 BST 2014 : No log data available

The client did not report any logfile data

  "


I need a dummies guide to msgs monitoring!

If anyone could provide such a beast i would be immensely grateful.

cheers
