Hi everyone,
Does anyone have any advice on messages logging? I have a log for postgres that gets so many lines written in a day there's no way it can transfer all of them to the Xymon server. I don't need any of that traffic anyway. The only lines I need are ones that contain a few specific words. So I put this in client-local.cfg:
[servername]
log:/var/log/postgres.log:10240
ignore .*
trigger %(FATAL|Fatal|FAIL|Fail|fail|Error|ERROR|error|Error|timestamp|deadlock|Deadlock|password authentication failed|pg_hba.conf|invalid magic number)
log:/var/log/messages:10240
ignore %(postgres|RMS Printing Subsystem|connection received|disconnection|connection authorized)
trigger %(FAIL|Fail|fail|Error|ERROR|error|Error|timestamp|deadlock|Deadlock|password authentication failed|pg_hba.conf|invalid magic number)
file:/etc/passwd
However, that doesn't seem to produce any log messages from the postgres log even when it should match one of the triggers. Client and server is version 4.3.17.
I appreciate any ideas anyone has, or if someone has already done this if you could share your config I'd like to see how you did it.
Thanks!
Scot
