Michael,
Regular expressions must be specified for the entire match, so the
following is probably closer to the mark:
FILE %/opt/WSCluster.*/WebSphere/wp_profile/javacore yellow NOEXIST
In the client-local.cfg you can probably try an alternative also:
file:`find /opt/WSCluster*/WebSphere/wp_profile -type f -name javacore*
| sort -r`
David.
I’ve successfully tested monitoring for the appearance of a statically
defined file (i.e. no wildcards), and have been happy with the result.
I’m now tasked with trying to alarm on the appearance of file where
only part of the filename will be static, hence the need for wildcards.
I’m at the point where the presence of a file causes a green
condition, and the removal of that file causes a white condition.
The client-local.cfg is set up to look like this (the commented lines
are my various attempts to test/change the behavior):
file:`find /opt/WSCluster*/WebSphere/wp_profile | grep javacore | sort -r`
#file:`find /opt/WSCluster*/WebSphere/wp_profile | grep javacore |
sort -r | head -n 1`
#file:`find /opt/WSCluster1/WebSphere/wp_profile | grep javacore |
sort -r | head -n 1`
#file:`find /opt/WSCluster2/WebSphere/wp_profile | grep javacore >
/dev/null | sort -r | head --lines=1`
#file:`find /opt/WSCluster3/WebSphere/wp_profile | grep javacore >
/dev/null | sort -r | head --lines=1`
log:/var/adm/syslog/syslog.log:10240
The analysis.cfg is set up like so (again, commented lines are my
attempts to test/change the behavior):
FILE /opt/WSCluster1/WebSphere/wp_profile/%javacore(^*.)
yellow NOEXIST
# FILE /opt/WSCluster(^*.)/WebSphere/wp_profile/javacore(^*.)
NOEXIST yellow
# FILE /opt/WSCluster(^*.)/WebSphere/wp_profile/javacore(^*.) yellow
I’ve put a test file out,
/opt/WSCluster1/WebSphere/wp_profile/javacore.mike1, and Xymon is
reporting green on the file’s existence…which, of course, is not the
desired behavior.
My guess is that I’m completely bollixing the regex…any thoughts or
help would be appreciated.
