The clientlocal.cfg entry was already in place as this is a standard test log that we use for testing new log monitors.
All my other tests which all work have double quotes around them as they all contain spaces and I've found they only work with the double quotes.

On my xymon 4.3.7 I also modified the client-local.cfg.
The client-local.cfg file contains settings that are used by each Xymon client when it runs on a monitored host. It provides a convenient way of configuring clients from a central location without having to setup special configuration maintenance tools on all clients.
The client-local.cfg file is currently used to configure what logfiles the client should fetch data from, to be used as the basis for the "msgs" status column; and to configure which files and directories are being monitored in the "files" status column.
Note that there is a dependency between the client-local.cfg file and the anaysis.cfg(5) file. When monitoring e.g. a logfile, you must first enter it into the client-local.cfg file, to trigger the Xymon client into reporting any data about the logfile. Next, you must configure analysis.cfg so the Xymon server knows what to look for in the file data sent by the client. So: client-local.cfg defines what raw data is collected by the client, and analysis.cfg defines how to analyze them.

I’m trying to get a match on a log file string but seem to be struggling. In my analysis.cfg I have the following, LOG /xymon/server/etc/test.log "%Thread \"WebContainer.{1,75} and may be hung*" COLOR=yellow On the msgs column on the relevant server I get, No entries in /xymon/server/etc/test.log No entries in /tmp/xymontest/ATPReceiptDiag.log
Full log /xymon/server/etc/test.logThread "WebContainer : 23" (0000006f) has been active for 686236 milliseconds and may be hung. Full log /tmp/xymontest/ATPReceiptDiag.log I’ve tested my string in my usual regular expression tester and it seems it should work ok. Is there something obvious that I’ve missed? -----Inline Attachment Follows-----
