Every 3 minutes is a bit peculiar because the client message with the log entries gets sent every 5 minutes. Could it be that there are two client processes running at the same time?

Permissions on the file look OK, but it could be that permissions on directory tree are not sufficient.

I have this one log file that is going from yellow to green back to yellow every 3 minutes. The xymon-client is installed on a MySQL server.

When the BB Display goes to yellow it indicates:

Warnings in /opt/mysql/log-error/zzzzzz-error.log yellow Logfile not accessible

But I see activity in the log.

However, the log file does exists there with the proper permissions for everyone to read. -rw-r--r-- 1 mysql mysql 44143540 Oct 29 10:02 zzzzzz-error.log

When it turns green, it indicates: No entries in /opt/mysql/log-error/zzzzzz-error.log Full log /opt/mysql/log-error/zzzzzz-error.log

But I see activity in the log.

What could be causing this flopping from green to yellow and back to green? Thanks in advance.
