Looks like your analysis.cfg entry is wrong.Try this.
FILE /home/mypath/log/update_out_[0-9]*-[0-9]*-[0-9]*\.txt MTIME<600 red

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_$**(date +%Y%m%d).txtMTIME<600 redin client-local.cfg: [myserver] file:
find /mypath/log/update_out_$(date +%Y%m%d).txtI see an entry for this file on the client in tmp logfetch.myserver.cfg file:
find /mypath/log/update_out_$(date +%Y%m%d).txtbut there is nothing for this file in msg.myserver.txt
File exists and is readable: find /home/mypath/log/update_out_$(**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
