msgs 🔗 link

Hi all

I have two clients monitoring files, in the client-local.cfg file I have


[linux]
log:/var/log/messages:10240
log:/var/log/bull/bull.log:10240
file:/var/log/messages:md5


in the hobbit-clients.cfg I have

#
# CC
#
HOST=cc-1
        UP      1h
        LOAD    5.0 10.0
        DISK    * 90 95
        MEMPHYS 100 101
        MEMSWAP 50 80
        MEMACT  90 97
        FILE /var/log/messages yellow SIZE>0 MTIME<600 TRACK
        FILE /var/log/bull/bull.log yellow SIZE>0 MTIME<600 TRACK
        LOG %/var/log/messages %(I/O|read).error COLOR=red

#
# Jabber
#
HOST=jabber-1
        UP      1h
        LOAD    5.0 10.0
        DISK    * 90 95
        MEMPHYS 100 101
        MEMSWAP 50 80
        MEMACT  90 97
        FILE /var/log/messages yellow MODE=644 TRACK
        LOG %/var/log/messages %(I/O|read).error COLOR=red


Everything is working fine for the cc-1 host, and the msgs tab shows
everything ok.. ..however ! the msgs tab for jabber-1 complains that it cant
find the bull.log..  but I am not monitoring that file for that host !?..

So how do I make this host stop.. watching file that is not supposed to
watch ?:.

"log" entries in client-local.cfg refer to logfiles which must exist.
If they are missing, then You will get warnings like the one you see.

The solution is to configure the logfiles correctly. So in your
client-local.cfg you should have a separate section for the "unusual"
host, cc-1:

[linux]
log:/var/log/messages:10240
file:/var/log/messages:md5

[cc-1]
log:/var/log/messages:10240
log:/var/log/bull/bull.log:10240
file:/var/log/messages:md5


There was a suggestion the other day that it would be nice to have
logfiles which were "optional" - this would let you keep your current
client-local.cfg setup. I plan to release this shortly.
