[Xymon] What happens to errors in analysis.cfg?

Are syntax errors in analysis.cfg logged someplace or are they silently ignored?

The analysis.cfg file is processed by xymond, so have a look in the xymond.log file. There are some parsing errors that are logged, such as "Unknown token 'X' ignored at line N". You could try adding a bogus token and see where it logs:

Host=bogus BOGUS

Hmm, just tried this out, and found the message appearing in clientdata.log, rrd-status.log and rrd-data.log. I guess other processes also read analysis.cfg.
