Check_log3 - solaris log monitoring

[Amalarasan Jayaraman]

Hello All

My environment 

Nagios Version - 2.x
Plugin under question - Check_log3
Monitored host - Solaris 10 x86
Nagios Host - Fedora core 4

	I had setup nagios to monitor the log file for
certain patterns on a remote solaris 10 x86 host using
check_by_ssh. As per the author I set the max attempt
to 1 and the notify_recovery is 0, check_log3 retains
the state and when a pattern match is found the state
changes to critical/warning and a notification is sent
and the state is retained.

        My question is, how will I reset the status to
normal, from nagios, after the problem is fixed.

	Also can someone suggest me a better/effecient way of
log monitoring with nagios, my requirements are, I
want to monitor multiple search strings in the syslog
and may want to send alerts for every time the pattern
match is found or once in 2 hours (depends on the type
of error). I can afford to use multiple probes if
required.

thanks
Amal
