The server hosting the Xymon mailing list crashed yesterday, so I spent
yesterday moving everything to another server.

I'll have a look at the search stuff.

Hello!

I have an application that creates everyday a new logfile and I want to monitor it. The manpage for client-local.cfg says:


	The file:FILENAME line defines the filename of the file to monitor.  As
	with the "log:" entries, a  filename  enclosed  in  backticks  means  a
	command  which  will  generate  the filenames dynamically.

My question is: From what version on does xymon support this feature? I'm currently running 4.2.3. And can someone give me an example for the syntax with backticks?

Thanks in advance!

P.S. I hope that this time my message does not count as reply to any 
previous message.

Log and file work the same way.

file:`/usr/bin/sudo  ls /var/spool/mqueue/Qf*`
file:`ls /core.*`

Dear Paul,

thank you for the examples. According to this I tried the following 
lines, but they did not work:

log:`ls /path/to/server_logs/$(date +%Y%m%d)`:102400
file:`ls /path/to/server_logs/$(date +%Y%m%d)`

Can you tell me please, how to escape the date-command?

Regards

Oliver

Hmm, that looks ok to me. 

You could cheat at do:

log:`ls /path/to/server_logs/201*`:102400

That wouldn't break until 2020.

A couple of things though. After changing client-local.cfg you need to restart xymon. Then it still takes way more time than I think it should for something to show up. 

Inevitably, I get impatient and walk away, that's when it starts up, figures out what I did wrong, marks something red and pages the oncall.

Paul.

Thank you for your response!
This syntax works absolutely fine, I've had a typo in the path, so it 
did not work yesterday:

log:`ls /path/to/server_logs/$(date +%Y%m%d)`:102400
file:`ls /path/to/server_logs/$(date +%Y%m%d)`

For future reference, you can catch some errors by redirecting output to a
file. At the very least the presence of the file tells you that the
scriptlet is being executed.

file:`ls /path/to/server_logs/$(date +%Y%m%d) >/tmp/testfile 2>&1`
