I do that now:
analysis.cfg: FILE %^/core.* YELLOW NOEXIST
client-local.cfg:file:ls /core.*
so change YELLOW to RED, and adjust the path.

Is there also a way to have the red with a wildcard? I am thinking specifically about /var/core/core* files which are very important to know if they exist but have undetermined names. We also need the alarm to stay on until the core* files are removed.

So how do I get the files test go RED on a missing file?
OK, I had to do some testing with this.
The problem is that when the file does not exist, then the
ls -1 ...will not produce any output. Without any output, Xymon cannot tell that there is a file-check happening.If you have an explicit filename in client-local.cfg, then the FILE check in analysis.cfg works as expected, because the xymon client will report that the specific file is missing.
So:
client-local.cfg: [myhost] file:/var/tmp/sys-heartbeat-myhost
analysis.cfg HOST=myhost FILE %^/var/tmp/sys-heartbeat-.* MTIME<3700
This will go red if the file is missing, or it exists and is older than 3700 seconds.
