Ashworth'; nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [Nagios-users] check_logfiles documentation Hi guys, i just explained it to Victor in private mail, but this seems to be a FAQ. > > OK - no errors or warning|websphere_lines=0 websphere_warnings=0 ^^ ^^ .._lines=0 means that _no_ lines were scanned for patterns at all. Why? First, because check_logfiles only examines lines which were appended to the logfile since the last run. And second, if you run check_logfiles for the very first time, it does not start searching from the beginning of the file. It only initializes itself by positioning at the end-of-file. This was necessary to avoid alerts caused by very old error messages in the logfile. > check_logfiles... and if not, carefully double check that > filename argument (and hang a bug against check_logfiles; 'I > can't find that log file' probably ought to be an error > condition; at least as a different status return (WARNING - > logfile not found). This message already exists: $ check_logfiles --logfile=/var/log/schmarrn.log --criticalpattern=kaas UNKNOWN - (1 unknown in check_logfiles.protocol-2008-04-17-19-32-10) - could not find logfile /var/log/schmarrn.log |default_lines=0 default_warnings=0 default_criticals=0 default_unknowns=1 (There is the option "nologfilenocry" which can be set in a configurationfile. With this option, a missing logfile is silently tolerated).
