What's missing is the state processing for "log" files (it sends the whole log every time), and handling of "trigger" and "ignore".

Hi,

here is a version of xymon-rclient.sh with support of logfile monitoring.

The added function do_host_logs() does following:

• read local preserved logfetch.cfg files for each remote host
• on next and each run tail 100 loglines from logfiles on monitored host over remote connection
• on each run emulates syslog on rclient-side for each remote logfile with "grep -Fvx newdata prevdata >> logfile"
• generate a modified logfetch.cfg2 file for local logfetch
• run local logfetch and report [msgs:...] data

Based on version 0.5. Produces not much traffic and periodically rotates local emulated logfiles. Works like the original xymonclient and handling of "trigger" and "ignore".

Other modification: assign class name which the rclient reports.

Maybe it's possible to integrate the code into xymon-rclient 0.6?

Greetings, Alex
