I ran the following command and it found a few mrtg files that were owned by root user instead of xymon user, but everything else is owned by xymon user. $ find /home/xymon/data/ -user root

Hi Kris,
It might be an idea to check for files owned by root under the data directory and change them to xymon.

I'm still getting xymond_history crash notifications exactly every 4 hours. I've looked in /var/log/xymon/ but there's doesn't seem to be any logs that give a clue as to what's happening.
Here's the notification I'm getting exactly every 4 hours.
*xymond_history purple [672384] * *red - Program crashed Fatal signal caught!*

Upon further searching of mailing list I came across this. https://lists.xymon.com/archive/2019-February/046058.html I re-ran my command with the 'sudo -u xymon' addition and it seemed to work.

Per the instructions found at https://xymon.sourceforge.io/xymon/help/manpages/man8/trimhistory.8.html I ran the following command to trim my very old log history and ever since then I'm getting the following crash alert.? Also when reviewing history via the webpage I get results but the time stamps are wonky.? I suspect it's because of the program crashing. Anyone know how to fix?
Trimhistory command I used: $ ./trimhistory --drop --dropsvcs --droplogs --cutoff=
date +%s --date="1 Jan 2019"--progressAlert I'm receiving:
xymond_history purple [549922] red - Program crashed
Fatal signal caught!
