/var/log/xymon/history.log or xymonlaunch.log might have something or,
depending on your system, /var/log/messages or audit/... Basically,
anywhere that's liable to have segfault information. ($XYMONTMP might also
contain a core dump file that could be useful.)
If xymond_history crashed, it was auto-restarted by xymonlaunch pretty
quickly, which is why it's still running now. To clear the purple alert
(it was a one-time message), simply drop the status manually (xymon
localhost "drop <hostname> xymond_history")

On Friday after over 800 days of operation our xymon server is reporting
purple status for xymond_history. It says program crashed fatal sig
caught.
Yet the process is running and nothing shows in the log as a problem. Any
ideas where I should start looking?
