clients in localmode cannot check files 🔗 link

Hi,

I've been running my clients in localmode for a while now and one thing
that's not working at all, is checking for files.

In a default configuration, there must be an entry in client-local.cfg
and in analysis.cfg, but this does not apply to localmode.

My file checks are configured in localclient.cfg on the clients (like
the rest of the checks, which are working fine and as expected).

I found an old question regarding this [1], but I was not able to solve
my problems with this approach unfortunately. My file checks are just
being ignored when clients are using localmode.

Is there some trick to it respectively what am I doing wrong here?

Thanks in advance!

Cheers
Christoph

I believe you still need to configure analysis.cfg on the server.

I tried that prior to sending my message to the mailing list, sorry, I
should have included that information. It did not change anything.

Check your client data report and see if there is a section for the
dinner you're monitoring.

Which data report do you mean?

If you go to the CPU status page (or disk or ports, etc) there's a link 
at the bottom that says "client data available".

Maybe there's no client data when in local mode?
