client-local.cfg ignore parse problem

Hi,

I've created a bug report on the xymon bug tracker on SF regarding this, but since this mailing list seems a bit more active, I'll give it a try as well :)

We are running Xymon 4.2.3. The IGNORE option in client-local.cfg doesn't seem to work properly. We are getting flooded with "partial" messages (things we have defined an ignore pattern for). For example; we are filtering out some log messages on our VMware ESX hosts in the form of:

LOG %/var/log/esx.* %\S IGNORE=%pattern1|pattern2|pattern3 COLOR=yellow

But small portions (like cut-offs) of those pattern-matched messages are still triggering alarms quite often. Example:

Warnings in /var/log/esx03.log st family for guestos: winServer2008Standard-64

Warnings in /var/log/esx05.log b07155509" failed to authenticate

Any clues?

Regards,

Johan
