Hello, all.
I'm trying to have Monit restart a service based on a keyword in a particular
file. That file changes name by appending today's date at the end, as in
"myprogram-server.log.processed-2017-05-13". So, I have to craft a check that
takes the changing date into account. Here's what I've created:
check file messages with path
/data1/myprogram/log/myprogram-server.log.processed-($date +"%Y-%m-%d")
if match "FATAL" then exec "/data1/myprogram/myprogram-mta/sm-server server
restart"
The problem is in how to do the date part. I've tried every combination of
parens, quotes, back ticks, etc., but Monit won't start because it doesn't like
the date part. Can anyone help with this?
Also, I'd like an email alert to say that the that the service has been
restarted. As the check is presently written, it sends an email with e.g. "May
15 13:36:30 satest03 systemd: Stopped The Apache HTTP Server." Here's that
check (and it's only a test):
check file messages with path /var/log/messages
if match "Stopped The Apache HTTP Server" then exec "/bin/systemctl restart
httpd" <- note that the match is what appears in the email message. Can you
help with this, too.
Many thanks.
Diggy
