Check there is an entry
log:/var/log/messages:10240
under an appropriate category in client-local.cfg on the server.
Also check that /var/log/messages is readable by the client user.
From memory, the messages file is owned by root, and is only set to read by
owner only by default.
Correcting this problem is left as an exercise for the reader.

Hi
I just finished building xymon 4.3.2. I have the server up and a single
client. The messages column for my client is showing green. However,
when I click on the icon, the web page is displayed with a purple band down
the left side. The message displayed is
No entries in /var/log messages
Then it proceeds to print out the messages file. I’ve attached a screen
print.
This is my localclient.cfg:
HOST=flower.pnl.gov
MEMSWAP 70 90
PROC crond
PROC sshd
PROC syslogd
LOG /var/log/messages
DEFAULT
# These are the built-in defaults.
UP 1h
LOAD 5.0 10.0
DISK * 90 95
MEMPHYS 100 101
MEMSWAP 50 80
MEMACT 90 97
Can someone tell me what else I need to configure? This is a RHEL5 client.
Thanks.
Cathy
