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!!!
Do you need to see the contents of the log file or not?
If you just want to alert on the file being non-empty, you may prefer to use a
FILES check, alerting with 'size>0'.
What i tried to do:
-put some lines like: "trigger allert", "* COLOR=red" etc... in the
client-local.cfg --> didnt work
client-local.cfg should just list which log files should be checked on the
client. The pattern to alert on should go in hobbit-clients.cfg. Please
include the entire section from the relevant config files, otherwise it is
difficult to assist (the snippets you provide wouldn't work on their own ...).
ps: I'm trying to do this in the Hobbit-Server... should i change the
config in the client also?
No. Please read the client-local.cfg man page.
