Hi guys,
im trying to do an easy thing but its not working. I've been looking in the
client-local.cfg manual but it doesnt helped a lot.
What i want to do is:
-monitor a logfile (like as usual by the column msgs) which is usualy
empty. -trigger the status as soon as the logfile get a line --> then it
should become red!!!
What i tried to do:
-put some lines like: "trigger allert", "* COLOR=red" etc... in the
client-local.cfg --> didnt work
ps: I'm trying to do this in the Hobbit-Server... should i change the
config in the client also?
does somebody know how i can configure this?
Yes.
First make sure the client is sending the content of the file so you have something under the files check. This can be configured in client-local.cfg (see the manpage for the correct syntax). You can also check the tmp directory on the client. There should be some files with the relevant lines from client-local.cfg. It will also take some time (10 minutes) before the client picks up the changed config and start sending lines.
Next step is in hobbit-clients.cfg where you can configure what will be triggering a red or yellow error.
So, first make sure the client is sending lines from the logfile and then confgure what will trigger red/yellow.
