<div>HI,</div> <div>This is something I been wanting to add to NC_NEt for a while, but have not had the time to implement.</div> <div> </div> <div>I have not yet heard of one availible specifically for nagios on a Windows Host.</div> <div> </div> <div>Assuming the Log Files are just TEXT</div> <div> </div> <div>your best bet is to write a program that parses through text logs using regular expessions.</div> <div>This can be done through VB Scripts.</div> <div>The tricky thing with VBS, or Dot Net is it handles RegExp slightly differently than compared to UNIX but there are a series of Settings one could use to get desired results from the Regexp.</div> <div> </div> <div>THe other tricky thing with Windows is making sure you file opening for Read Only , since opening them with RW access may cause their corrosponding apps to fail getting the file handles to its own log file.</div> <div> </div> <div>The last thing to consider is the order of the file,</div> <div>If the Log file always appends to the end then try to itterate through the file from the end moving twords the begining untill you hit your stopping point,</div> <div> </div> <div>This way you can exit the loop early. </div> <div> </div> <div>Tony (author of NC_NEt)<br><br></div> <div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Mar 2, 2009 at 3:20 PM, Masoud Tabrizi <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:masoud.tabrizi@gmail.com">masoud.tabrizi@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br> <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="PADDING-LEFT: 1ex; MARGIN: 0px 0px 0px 0.8ex; BORDER-LEFT: #ccc 1px solid">I looked that the event log but does no good for me as I am trying to monitor application logs and not events logs. looking for something similar to check_logfiles on Unix.<br> Thanks<br><br><br>++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++<br> <div class="im">-----Original Message-----<br>From: Curtis LaMasters [mailto:<a href="mailto:curtislamasters@gmail.com">curtislamasters@gmail.com</a>]<br>Sent: Monday, March 02, 2009 3:10 PM<br>To: Masoud Tabrizi<br>Cc: <a href="mailto:nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net">nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net</a><br> Subject: Re: [Nagios-users] Monitoring Logs under Windows 2003 server<br><br>You could use NSClient++ with the event log plugin.
