Well my problem is half fixed. I've set the hostname in
client-local.cfg on the server and now it's showing the correct log file
name on the webpage. The problem now is that it says there's no data in
the log. Is the client not sending the data? This still feels like
something that needs set on the client side. How do clients know what file
is the correct log file to send?
Clients know what file is the correct log file by looking in the file
logfetch.<hostname>.cfg in the tmp directory ($BBTMP).
A common problem is when a logfile is not readable by the xymon user. On
some of my systems, I create a group called "logread" with the xymon user
in it, and set the logfile to be group-readable by logread.
