Check_Log

[Mike Koponick]

Sure.

Here is the service check command:

define  service {
        use                             Sensor-Log
        hostgroup_name                  Firewalls
        service_description             Check_Log
        check_command
check_log!/var/log/messages!/usr/local/nagios/var/PIX-Deny.log!"Deny"
        register                        1
        }

Here is the template that I am using:

define service{

        name                            Sensor-Log
        is_volatile                     0
        max_check_attempts              1
        normal_check_interval           1
        retry_check_interval            1
        passive_checks_enabled          0
        active_checks_enabled           1
        check_period                    24x7
        parallelize_check               1
        obsess_over_service             1
        check_freshness                 0
        event_handler_enabled           0
        flap_detection_enabled          0
        process_perf_data               1
        retain_status_information       1
        retain_nonstatus_information    1
        contact_groups                  Support
        notification_interval           0
        notification_period             24x7
        notification_options            w,c
        notifications_enabled           0
        register                        0       
        }

Here is my check command:

define  command {
        command_name    check_log
        command_line    $USER1$/check_log -F $ARG1$ -O $ARG2$ -q $ARG3$


Thanks!

Mike

Can you post the command/etc you are using check_log in to parse the
log?
