Hi Root, Paul T

It was my first test (restart was done after ) my second was to copy [linux] section and after i was rename this copy to adam59.toto.com and restart

This would be inaccurate. You can (and I do) use specific hosts in the client-local.cfg.

If you're going to monitor a specific log on a specific system, you can use:

[hostname] (as it appears in hosts.cfg) file:/path/to/file log:/var/log/messages:1024 (Or whatever the default syslog is for your installation)

The first line monitors for the presence of the file in question, the second line replicates the default syslog for your OS. This second line is necessary if you wish to monitor that log, as specifying a particular host in the client-local.cfg will supercede any OS specific settings.

Just add the filename you want to watch in the linux section. That's how it will work. Clients-local.cfg does not have host names just architecture types.
