I have two clients monitoring files, in the client-local.cfg file I have

[linux] log:/var/log/messages:10240 log:/var/log/bull/bull.log:10240 file:/var/log/messages:md5

[snip]

Everything is working fine for the cc-1 host, and the msgs tab shows everything ok.. ..however ! the msgs tab for jabber-1 complains that it cant find the bull.log.. but I am not monitoring that file for that host !?..

"log" entries in client-local.cfg refer to logfiles which must exist. If they are missing, then You will get warnings like the one you see.

The solution is to configure the logfiles correctly. So in your client-local.cfg you should have a separate section for the "unusual" host, cc-1:

[linux] log:/var/log/messages:10240 file:/var/log/messages:md5

[cc-1] log:/var/log/messages:10240 log:/var/log/bull/bull.log:10240 file:/var/log/messages:md5

There was a suggestion the other day that it would be nice to have logfiles which were "optional" - this would let you keep your current client-local.cfg setup. I plan to release this shortly.
