Check the man page for Alerts.
Xymon can, as part of normal alerts, kick off a script, which, in theory,
could do almost anything you want.
Should a monitoring tool take remedial action or not?
I leave that for you to decide. :-)

Hi all,****

I’ve got a requirement to take a specific action on a unix server should
we get a specific message in a log file. ****

I’m not sure this is even possible in Xymon and I suspect I’ll have to try
and work out some way of doing it with a script. ****

Perhaps an external script that will somehow check for the message, run
the relevant command to fix it and report a warning alert so that we know
it has happened.****

If there is some better way of doing it through Xymon I’d really like to
know how.****
