Hallo,
>I have a similar tool which watches the syslog log files and pattern >matches on the output, generating mon traps as necessary. I could probably >add it to the mon CVS area if anyone is interested in using it... wouldn't it be better to have syslogd send to a pipe and parse the pipe output against patterns, for better performance? I've seen notable performance improvements on AIX and Linux. This is the way e.g. Tivoli integrates with syslog for monitoring syslog. Of course this requires some wrapper to watch the pipe receiver so that syslogd does not die with SIGPIPE if the receiver died somehow. -- Tschau...Thomas "Do you wanna be a legend or a passing footprint on the sands of time?"
