anyone an example with how to monitor a socket for exist and listen in hobbit-clients i.e /var/run/clamav/clamav-milter.ctl i am not sure with file statement and/or/nor ports

You could do it with a check in the Xymon client. In client-local.cfg, add file:/var/run/clamav/clamav-milter.ctl to have the client send information about this (socket) file. Then in the analysis.cfg config (hobbit-clients.cfg in older versions), add

HOST=blabla FILE /var/run/clamav/clamav-milter.ctl type=socket COLOR=red

This should give you an alert if the file does not exist, or it is not a socket-type file.

Check the "Client data" link found on any of the status- pages for this host, and verify that the expected file information is included. It should look somewhat like this, except the filename and information differs:

[file:/var/log/apache2/hswn.log] type:100000 (file) mode:644 (-rw-r--r--) linkcount:1 owner:0 (root) group:4 (adm) size:1039307 clock:1297687186 (2011/02/14-13:39:46) atime:1297686728 (2011/02/14-13:32:08) ctime:1297687180 (2011/02/14-13:39:40) mtime:1297687180 (2011/02/14-13:39:40)

If that information is not present for the socket/file you want to monitor, then you need to look at why the client is not providing the information.

If it is there, then the problem is probably in the analysis.cfg (hobbit-clients.cfg) setup.
