integrating swatch with nagios

[tomvo at absi.be]

Hi,

I'm trying to integrate swatch in nagios (via passive checks, I want 
swatch as a reaction to a 'hit' run the submit_check_result into a passive 
check).

But I'm having a lot of problems with the commandline parameters. for 
example, swatch offers the $_ parameter containing the entire line from 
e.g. a solaris message file. But these files then to contain characters 
that are interpreted by the shell such as [ and ' and whatever.

Basicly, I want to search a logfile for a regular expression, and if 
there's a match, I want the entire line to be sent to nagios (preferrably 
via a passive check).
I do not want to use the nagios plugin checklog because it's too kludgy 
for my taste.

How do you integrate logfile parsing in to nagios ? I've installed SEC 
also (http://simple-evcorr.sourceforge.net) but it appears to be far too 
complex for my needs.


Thanks for your input on this matter.


regards,
Tom.
