Hi,

You are right, it won't re-alert. The problem here, I think, is how do you distinguish between different errors when the format of the log entries is unknown? Xymon also would need to keep a table of which errors had already triggered alerts but have not yet been resolved so it isn't sending duplicate alerts. And how would it know when something is resolved just from the logs? I think the best way to handle multiple conditions would be to use separate tests for what you want to monitor and not rely on logs as the primary source for testing.

hope that helps.

I am monitoring multiple text based logfiles with xymon and having a following problem. If "msgs" is already red because of an error in one logfile and at the same time while "msgs" is still red new error comes in into another(or the same no matter) logfile I will not get any notification about that.. Is there any way how can we deal with that?

Thank you!
