Every 3 minutes is a bit peculiar because the client message with the log
entries gets sent every 5 minutes. Could it be that there are two client
processes running at the same time?

Permissions on the file look OK, but it could be that permissions on
directory tree are not sufficient.

Subject: Logfile not accessible
Greetings everybody,

I have this one log file that is going from yellow to green back to yellow
every 3 minutes.
The xymon-client is installed on a MySQL server.

When the BB Display goes to yellow it indicates:

Warnings in /opt/mysql/log-error/zzzzzz-error.log
yellow Logfile not accessible

But I see activity in the log.

However, the log file does exists there with the proper permissions for
everyone to read.
-rw-r--r--  1 mysql mysql 44143540 Oct 29 10:02 zzzzzz-error.log

When it turns green, it indicates:
No entries in /opt/mysql/log-error/zzzzzz-error.log
Full log /opt/mysql/log-error/zzzzzz-error.log

But I see activity in the log.

What could be causing this flopping from green to yellow and back to green?
Thanks in advance.
