You might be right that the message is being clipped. If so, you should see Xymon log messages to that effect. Thanks Jeremy, where in the logs exactly? Do I grep for "clipped"? :-)
Perhaps add the IGNORE clause to the client-local.cfg message instead. This will cause the messages to be dropped at the client side. Not only can you forget about these messages on the Xymon server, but also you're less likely to have a clipped message. Like so:
[sunos] log:/var/adm/messages:10240 ignore refused connect from itsecurity-scanner.my.do.main Excellent idea - hadn't thought of th... wait, hang on. The only place I have a "client-local.cfg" file is on my *server*, not on any of my clients.
Ummm, actually this file is only supposed to exist on the server, and when the client connects to report the status, it will also download a copy of it's (section) of the file and apply that for future status updates.
Note: I forget the details, but it can take 15 minutes (3 cycles) before you will see the changes applied/working.
