Can you not have the text file on a web server and still use sAlive to check the 'page' contents ?
-----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, April 08, 2008 11:08 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Monitoring a text file? 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?
