I’m trying to monitor all file (permissions) of all files in a directory

First, You should only use "log" for log-files, i.e. files where you want
to have the actual contents of the files sent to Xymon for checking. If you
only want to monitor file permissions, then use a "file:" definition
instead.
Second, you cannot use wild-card filenames in the client-local.cfg file.
As the man-page says:
"If you want to check multiple files using a wildcard, you must use a
command to generate the filenames. Putting wildcards directly into the
file: entry will not work."
So something like this should do the trick:
file:`ls /var/adm/`
I was wondering - is it (or could it become) possible to enter wildcard
hostnames? Something like:
[www.*.domain.com]
file:/var/log/xxx.log
with the intention that the file: and log: entries be sent to any host
matching the wildcard.
Thanks,
