Hi Wayne, the file check supports the symlinks - the size test verifies the symlink's target size, not the symlink itself. For example:
mkfile 10m /tmp/myfile ln -s /tmp/myfile /tmp/mylink The following monit configuration which check the file via symlink will report problem, as the my file size exceeded 5m: --8<-- check file myfile_symlink with path /tmp/mylink if size > 5 MB then alert --8<-- Test output: --8<-- 'myfile_symlink' size test failed for /tmp/mylink -- current size is 10485760 B --8<-- Regards, Martin On Mar 23, 2012, at 1:26 PM, Lawrence, Wayne wrote: > Hi, > > I was wondering if there is any way for monit to check the file size of a > symlink target. > > I use linked logs and chronolog and want to keep an eye on the current log > file size but cant seem to find a way of doing this in monit. > > for example my apache.log links to 2012/Mar/apache.log obviously this rotates > monthly and i want to monitor the target file without having to change the > config every month. > > If anyone can shed some light on this it would be great. > > Regards > > Wayne > -- > To unsubscribe: > https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/monit-general -- To unsubscribe: https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/monit-general
