Monitoring unix (SUN) logfiles...

[Gerhard Lausser]

Hi Fabio,
 
if you mean looking for specific patterns in various logfiles, i can offer
you the check_logfiles plugin. You define where to search, what to search
for and Nagios will send you a notification if the "what" appears in the
"where".
Have a look at
http://www.consol.com/opensource/nagios/check-logfiles/examples for an
example, how you can use Nagios to look for SAN-related error messages in
the Solaris /var/adm/messages file.
 
Gerhard

Betreff: [Nagios-users] Monitoring unix (SUN) logfiles...


hi folks, 
I read on the website among the features Nagios can monitor log files but I
was unable to find more precise informations on how it does the monitoring. 

can someone please tell me where I can find these informations? 

more, I'd like to understand whether Nagios can monitor file existence? can
someone help on this? 

thanks in advance,
Fabio
