checking multiple log files

[Kyle O'Donnell]

Hi,

I need to check for a string in multiple log files.  The names of the
log files will contain a constant string, and be located in constant
directory.

Currently I am using the check_logfiles plugin with the following configuration:


@logs = (
  {
    tag => 'mqrefused',
    logfile => '/var/mqm/exits/logs/.*.log',
    rotation => 'solaris',
    warningpatterns => 'refused',
  }

);

@logs = (
  {
    tag => 'mqfdcprobe',
    logfile => '/var/mqm/errors/.*.FDC',
    rotation => 'solaris',
    warningpatterns => 'Probe Id',
  }

);


The only problems are that, the output does not contain the offending
string/line, and the status is set to UNKNOWN when a string isn't
matched.

One thought was to write a wrapper for check_logs.pl which does

for i in `ls *.log`

do

output=`check_logs.pl -f $i -s /tmp/$i.tmp -p "blah"`
printf $output\t

done

This should print all of the output... I can work out the exit status
as well... but this isn't ideal

Any Ideas?

Thanks,
Kyle
