Subject: Re: [Ntop] Syslog Alert forwarding?

Brian,

Alert-to-syslog support is now added:


For threshold-based alerts you also have indication if the alert is:
* ENGAGED -- that is, the threshold condition holds true
* RELEASED -- that is, the threshold condition no longer holds true

See:

simone@devel:~/nProbe$ sudo tail -f /var/log/syslog

HREF='/lua/host_details.lua?host=192.168.2.222&ifid=0&page=alerts'>devel</A>

Aug  7 14:40:00 devel ntopng: [Alert] [ENGAGED] Minute <b>traffic</b> crossed

Aug  7 14:43:00 devel ntopng: [Alert] [RELEASED] Minute <b>traffic</b> crossed 
by host <a href='/lua/host_details.lua?ifid=0&host=192.168.2.222'>devel</a> 
[693.44 KB &gt; 1 Byte]


A new build with the change will be available tomorrow.



Regards,
Simone

Hi!

I have recently gotten NTOP-NG running in my environment and am fairly pleased 
with it so far. What I would like to do that I have not been able to find much 
information on is forwarding any alerts from syslog to a syslog collector – 
graylog in my case. I may be able to figure this out on my own but to start 
with I cannot seem to find the location in the filesystem that this is logged 
at. I have the “syslog option” turned on in the preferences but if I search the 
default /var/log/syslog I find no mention of anything generated from ntop at 
all let alone anything related to an alert. That said – if this were ever to 
work I’d really like to not forward the servers entire syslog to graylog and 
parse it down to only what is needed from ntop.

I am running this on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS with the default rsyslog install.

Any suggestions on how to go about this?
