Monitoring a CVS server

if you check argus's error log (click 'Error Log') you will probably
see errors. you need a space after 'expect:'


| 			    expect:^Server: Concurrent Versions System
                                   ^
                                   | add space here.

| Any suggestions why this is failing? Oh, and what does the debug: yes
| option do? I see no extra logging anywhere.

the debugging info gets set to syslog.
make sure argus is configured to use syslog (your config
should have something like:)
	syslog: daemon
and look where ever your system puts syslog files

if syslog is not enabled, you can also get the debugging info
via argusctl, run:
	argusctl -k console
