Hi Nick,****

In the analysis.cfg file you can test for the existence or otherwise of a
file or files. The section from the man page is:****
** **
----****
FILE filename [color] [things to check] [TRACK]****
** **
DIR directoryname [color] [size<MAXSIZE] [size>MINSIZE]****
[TRACK]****
** **
These entries control the status of the "files" column. They****
allow you to check on various data for files and direc-****
tories.****
** **
filename and directoryname are names of files or direc-****
tories, with a full path. You can use a regular expression****
to match the names of files and directories reported by the****
client, if you prefix the expression with a '%' character.****
----****
Since you want the non-existance of a core file to be green you could
create an entry like this:****
** **
HOST=*****
FILE=/var/core/* red noexist****
** **
Which should report the FILE column as green if nothing exists in
/var/core and red if anything appears.****
** **
I haven’t tried this so you may need to poke at it a little, but hopefully
it will give you a starting point.****

Is there a way to be alerted if any core files are created in /var/core/
(Solaris 10)? Just the presence of any core* file is sufficient.
