backticks not working in client-local.cfg
Xymon version: - Xymon 4.3.10 OS: - Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
**I am using the below entry but it is not converting the date command to the value.
[server-name]
log:/mnt/logs/access.date +%Y-%m-%d.log:10240
ignore INFO
trigger SEVERE
I tried many things but no luck, on the log page I see the date command as it is instead of the actual date value.: -
log:/mnt/logs/access.date +%Y-%m-%d.log:10240
log:$(/mnt/logs/access.date +%Y-%m-%d.log):10240
log:$(echo /mnt/logs/access.date +%Y-%m-%d.log):10240
log:/mnt/logs/access.$(date +%Y-%m-%d).log:10240
Try:
log:find /mnt/logs/access.$(date +%Y-%m-%d).log:10240

Hi Michael, this worked! Thanks a ton. I didnt know that we have to close the backtick after the message size. One more question, can I add multiple servers for common log file monitoring like below?
[server1,server2,server3] log: .....

Actually.... I didn't know you had to close the backticks after the message size either... My original reply was a typo, I thought it should have gone after the ".log" Hmm??? If it works, it works I guess.
For your second question, it can be done, but not the way you have shown. the client-local file won't work with multiple hostnames. What id does work on, however, is a CLASS names which are defined in your hosts.cfg.
So in your hosts.cfg file: 1.2.3.1 server1 # CLASS:myclass 1.2.3.2 server2 # CLASS:myclass 1.2.3.3 server3 # CLASS:myclass
In your client-local.cfg [myclass] log:....

One last question, my analysis.cfg entry seems to be wrong, xymon not alerting for below entry which has backtrick.

You don't need to do the date calculation in the analysis, just need to provide the regular expression to match it.
The client-local.cfg is telling your client what data to send, but supply the date string in the "find" statement, the client is going going to return data from those files. So once the data gets to the server, it will only be for today's data. For example, the client data will only have.
/mnt/logs/access.2013-04-12.log
So your regex in analysis.cfg only needs LOG %/mnt/logs/access\.[0-9]*-[0-9]*-[0-9]*\.log

This was really a great help, everything is working fine now.
