Hi Jeremy,
sorry for my late reply. you really helped me a lot.
I made some tests in the mean time and well, I modified some clients for
the centralized mode.
In fact all client installations that I have were configured/compiled with
local mode.
So, I took out the "--local" in the clientlaunch.cfg file, restarted the
client, and configured the rest as you said in analysis.cfg on the
server.
Now I get the message files (at least those that were readable, but that
is another problem) on the WebPage.
Is taking out the "--local" enough in order to switch clients to
centralized mode ?
The problem I have now is that in analysis.cfg I have configured PROC and
PORT, but the server column for these servers keep saying "No checks
defined".
Maybe you have also an idea for that.

By default, msgs only works in centralized mode, and you define the
parameters in client-local.cfg on the server (as you have done). For
non-centralized mode, you must add "--local" into clientlaunch.cfg
after "xymonclient.sh".
Are you unable to use centralized mode for some reason? I can't tell
if you're trying non-centralized mode because centralized mode is not
working, or because of some other reason.
Assuming you'd want to get centralized mode to work, have a look for
the logfetch tempfile in $XYMONTMP (which is /tmp for me). The file
will be called "logfetch.name-of-server.cfg". Check that the content
looks OK (same as the matching [servername] stanza from
client-local.cfg), and check that the timestamp is within 10 minutes.
[There's also a logfetch.name-of-server.status file that might contain
clues. Not sure of the format, so dunno how useful.]
If the logfetch tempfile is OK, try running logfetch against it and
see what it shows. Something like this:
sudo -u xymon /usr/lib/xymon/client/bin/logfetch
/tmp/logfetch.`uname -n`.cfg /tmp/test.status
It should show output for each entry in the .cfg file.
Cheers
Jeremy
