Dear xymon users,
I got stuck while trying to monitor a file which should be updated regularly and which has got a timestamp in its name. "files" on the server remains clear, no data . Could someone tell me what is wrong with these settings or what have i forgotten?
On the server we have in
analysis.cfg
HOST=myserver
FILE /home/mypath/log/update_out_$(date +%Y%m%d).txt MTIME<600 red
in client-local.cfg:
[myserver]
file:find /mypath/log/update_out_$(date +%Y%m%d).txt
I see an entry for this file on the client
in tmp logfetch.myserver.cfg
file:find /mypath/log/update_out_$(date +%Y%m%d).txt
but there is nothing for this file in msg.myserver.txt
File exists and is readable: find /home/mypath/log/update_out_$(date +%Y%m%d).txt -exec ls -l {} \; -rw-rw-r-- 1 ... 2467070 Sep 26 08:43 /home/mypath/log/update_out_20130926.txt
In xymonclient.log I see an entry
sh: syntax error at line 1: (' unexpected but I don't know if it is related to the file problem or to anything else. I know that sh can't deal with $(xy), I tried as well FILE /home/mypath/log/update_out_date +%Y%m%d`.txt MTIME<600 red
but in vain.
Any help appreciated, kind regards Rolf
