Looks like your analysis.cfg entry is wrong.Try this.
FILE /home/mypath/log/update_out_[0-9]*-[0-9]*-[0-9]*\.txt MTIME<600 red

Dear xymon users,
I got stuck while trying to monitor a file which should be updated
regularly and which has got a timestamp in its name.
"files" on the server remains clear, no data . Could someone tell me what
is wrong with these settings or what have i forgotten?
On the server we have in
analysis.cfg
HOST=myserver
FILE `/home/mypath/log/update_out_$**(date +%Y%m%d).txt` MTIME<600 red
in client-local.cfg:
[myserver]
file:`find /mypath/log/update_out_$(date +%Y%m%d).txt`
I see an entry for this file on the client
in tmp logfetch.myserver.cfg
file:`find /mypath/log/update_out_$(date +%Y%m%d).txt`
but there is nothing for this file in msg.myserver.txt
File exists and is readable:
find /home/mypath/log/update_out_$(**date +%Y%m%d).txt -exec ls -l {}
\;
-rw-rw-r-- 1 ... 2467070 Sep 26 08:43 /home/mypath/log/update_out_
**20130926.txt
In xymonclient.log I see an entry
sh: syntax error at line 1: `(' unexpected
but I don't know if it is related to the file problem or to anything else.
I know that sh can't deal with $(xy), I tried as well
FILE /home/mypath/log/update_out_`**date +%Y%m%d`.txt MTIME<600 red
but in vain.
Any help appreciated,
kind regards
Rolf
