quick question - wildcard multiple logs in client-local?
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*
Should it? Or do I have to write a custom script? The files will be named with the date like so /vg8_bo3_stats/vg8_stats/top_talkers/server_4/server_4_2014-09-24T012005
xymon 4.3.17 on RHEL6
thanks Betsy

The syntax is slightly different between the two...

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