server log plugin

[Parkman, Mikhail]

Thank you, Claudio,
It was simple to setup, and it works.
I have one question.
Here is my command in the /usr/local/nagios/etc/nrpe.cfg on the target host:

command[check_server_log]=/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_logfiles --logfile=/opt/cvs-jboss7/standalone/log/server.log --criticalpattern="ERROR" --noprotocol

Default output message is  "ok - no errors or warnings"

Since I am checking for errors only, this message is somehow misleading in my case.
Does somebody know how to change it to
"ok - no errors "

Thanks.
Mikhail.

This one is probably the best one:

I need to perform the following tasks:

*  Demonstrated that Nagios alert is fired when certain messages are logged in the application log file on the target (remote) host
*  Nagios "info message" is fired when error condition is cleared.

I found out "logwarn" plugin but I didn't find detailed configuration instructions for this plugin.

http://exchange.nagios.org/directory/Plugins/Log-Files/check_logwarn/details

And another one - "check_logfiles" - this one is described better in my opinion but referring to something called OPSVIEW that I don't have any idea about.

Did somebody have experience with well documented "check log" plugin, and could recommend one so that the functionality of the recommended plugin matches bulleted tasks in the beginning of this email that I have to accomplish?

Thanks.
Mikhail.
