OpsMgr, of course. How real-time does it need to be? Dumpel and eventcombnt also come to mind.

Greetings! We're an IBM shop (DB2, Lotus, and some application severs which rely on apache products including tomcat). We occasionally have services quietly quit working. Although specific application logs may have event entries, they tend to not make it to the MS system event logs. FWIW, we have ServersAlive for monitoring some of these services. Although the services break, they still seem to respond to the ServersAlive checks. Anyone know of some additional monitoring system which can scan text files and "generate an event" when specific text strings are found by it? Thanks! -------------------------------------- Richard McClary, Systems Administrator ASPCA Knowledge Management 1717 S Philo Rd, Ste 36, Urbana, IL 61802 217-337-9761 http://www.aspca.org ~ Upgrade to Next Generation Antispam/Antivirus with Ninja! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbelt-software.com/SunbeltMessagingNinja.cfm> ~ ~ Upgrade to Next Generation Antispam/Antivirus with Ninja! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbelt-software.com/SunbeltMessagingNinja.cfm> ~
