I have a set of ever-changing-name log files which I want to check for the string "ERROR"

This works in client-local.cfg, for file metadata: file:ls /vg8_bo3_stats/vg8_stats/top_talkers/server_*/server*

This does not work log:ls /vg8_bo3_stats/vg8_stats/top_talkers/server_*/server*

The syntax is slightly different between the two...

https://www.xymon.com/help/manpages/man5/client-local.cfg.5.html log:/var/log/messages:SIZE file:/var/log/messages[:HASH]

Just add a buffer size value after your cmd on the log line and you should be set.

HTH,
