I use the following in my hoobit-clients.cfg file to trap EMS messages:

LOG %/var/adm/syslog/syslog.log "%(?-i) EMS" color=red

I get paged whenever an EMS message appears in any of my HPUX systems syslog.log file.

One question, have you configured hobbit (xymon) to send alerts when a yellow condition is encountered?

Yes, the file is readable globally. On Tue, Oct 21, 2008 at 2:23 AM, Larry Barber <lebarber at gmail.com <mailto:lebarber at gmail.com> > wrote: Can your Hobbit client read the file in question?

Thanks, Larry Barber

I would like to monitor HP servers for EMS alerts, and i have added the below entry in hobbit-clients.cfg.

CLASS=hp-ux LOG /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log %EMS COLOR=yellow LOG /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log vmunix COLOR=yellow IGNORE=vx_nospace

A similar entry is also there in client-local.cfg file as well as listed below.

[hp-ux] log:/var/adm/syslog/syslog.log:102400

Is there anything that i have missed, as i do not receive an alert?

Any suggestion at the earliest would be really really helpful, thanks in advance.

Regards, Sanu
