Sorry for taking so long to get back to the list.
I managed to find an inconsistent configuration on one of our servers. Looks like the "client-local.cfg" file wasn't populated correctly. Putting in the name of the file here solved the problem.
Many thanks all, James.

Hard to debug this one -- especially since the Xymon "style" is to silently ignore errors in configuration files. You say it is "random" but have you tried to correlate server operating system, etc. with success/failure? Are you mixing BBWIN and UNIX agents?
You might pick one "failing" server and check the client log files for clues (not sure what to tell you to look for). You might do the "is it plugged in?" things -- does the log file that you want to check exist, is it readable by the agent, did the agent recognize the file, was the file defined properly in the client-local.cfg file on the server, etc.

Hi guys - I'm having a bit of trouble getting this check to work. It seems random whether it will work for servers or not.
Some have the check working (and show a green status) however other hosts have the check as clear, so Xymon thinks it isn't defined for those hosts. Thing is, I have other checks defined in hobbit-clients.cfg for those hosts which *are* working, which rules out the "HOST=" part not being read properly.
Any ideas..is this a known issue? Thanks!
