Is your xymon setup in central mode or local mode? By default xymon is setup in central mode. So you’d want this in the client-local.cfg and the analysis.cfg on the server.

I am really struggling to understand how to monitor msgs in xymon. I have read the man pages over anhd over and nothing I am doing seems to work. In the client I have the following files in ~/client/etc client-local.cfg: log:/var/log/messages:4096 localclient.cfg: LOG /var/log/messages warn COLOR=red The actual msgs report in the xymon web page says " System logs at Fri May 30 10:29:38 BST 2014 : No log data available The client did not report any logfile data " I need a dummies guide to msgs monitoring! If anyone could provide such a beast i would be immensely grateful.
cheers Ian
