Hi,
I'm having issues getting the tail plugin to produce any meaningful output, and
wonder if I can ask for some help and support.
I have been fiddling with it for a few hours now and have to admit that I don't
understand enough about regex to make it work, or perhaps I'm doing something
else wrong.
I'm trying to get tail to follow /var/log/secure to count the rate of ssh
failed and successful connection attempts, in a similar manner to the example
in the documentation. However I cant get any data to be captured in the rrd
what so ever. I conclude that I am doing something wrong, please can you help?
The regex examples in the documentation did not provide anything more than the
example below. Please let me know if you need more information.
Eventually I want to use the tail plugin to monitor DHCP Address Allocations
too.
The System is RHEL5.2
The plugin configuration I am using is as follows (trying just to capture
anything at present):
LoadPlugin tail
<Plugin "tail">
<File "/var/log/secure">
Instance "ssh"
<Match>
Regex "."
DSType CounterInc
Type counter
Instance "ssh"
</Match>
</File>
</Plugin>
