analysis.cfg - match a sentence not a single word
list Ian Diddams
Follwoing on from my rpevious queries and thanks to all that helped,
Ive now got everything working but matching a single word ("DIDDS").
however - what I actually need to match is a sentence
eg "Failed to initialize credentials using keyta"
I can try this
LOG %/var/log/messages.*.log "Failed to initialize credentials using keytab" COLOR=yellow
but the GUI flags the contents of the file as containing that but it doesn;t alert for it.
all the man page suggests is single word pattern matching is available - any other suggestions?
cheers

In my implementation, we've got % at the front of our text regex: LOG %/var/log/messages.*.log "%Failed to initialize credentials using keytab" COLOR=yellow You might give that a try. On 2018-08-16 11:53, Ian Diddams via Xymon wrote:

that's another badger!!! Cheers Mike - again! that just leaves the "alerts disappear after ten minutes even though the string is still in the log" issue... cheers! DIDDS
