After more experimentation, I've managed to get Xymon to give me the "all green" again, but only after adding a rather generic line to libs.local.yaml:

Any more specific and the aforementioned false positive pops up again. Any suggestions on how to make it more specific would be welcome.

That's a rather far-reaching config line; it will mean any and all (deleted) files will be ignored by the libs test, if you've put it under '*' !

The crucial line in the libs script is

return 1 if $path =~ $regexp;

i.e. you want a perl regular expression for the entries in libs.local.yml. Given you mentioned

/nfs/home/jwinius/.xsession-errors (deleted) nfs.umrk.nl:/nfs/home)

you could thus try, perhaps,

• '^/nfs/home/.*/\.xsession-errors '

(NB the trailing space is deliberate, given the example string you'd like to match).

Look for online tutorials about perl regular expressions if it's not clear what's going on there.
