Include transfer of file contents to Xymon server for FILE check

On the server I currently have a simple check to see if this file
exists.  I know if this file exists that there is a power outage
somewhere.

HOST=host.imaginenetworksllc.com
        FILE    /opt/noticeofpowerfailure red noexist

What I would like to do is include the contents of said text file to
the server so when I click on the status it shows up in my browser.
It is just text in the file.

Is this possible?

Add...

HOST=host.imaginenetworksllc.com
    FILE    /opt/noticeofpowerfailure red noexist
    LOG    /opt/noticeofpowerfailure

Then the contents should appear in the MSGS column.

No dice.  I tried that and after two cycles of files being red MSGS is
still clear:

System logs at Fri Feb 17 17:50:34 EST 2012 : No log data available

The client did not report any logfile data

Josh, you probably already know this, but for the sake of anyone new to Xymon,
is it possible that you forgot to add the required statements to the
client-local.cfg file on the server like so:


[ClientWithLog.example.com]
log:/opt/noticeofpowerfailure:10240

This tells the client "ClientWithLog.example.com" that it is supposed to send
the file "/opt/noticeofpowerfailure" (10240 bytes worth)

Hopefully this is something you didn't know, and it helped. :)
