Hi Marius, thanks for your reply. I actually was pointing more to.. monitoring a 'log' file on the monitoringserver itself (omd server) do I have to setup the agent on the omd server itself as well, and add is as being a... host to be monitored? And add the logfile as service to this host, or indeed a file monitoring or custom check indeed
I don't feel the need to setup a new server for a simple python script that'll run each 5 minutes or so Kind regards, Dennis Sweben Sent from my iPhone On 30 Jan 2017, at 19:08, Marius Pana <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: Depending on the frequency that you write to that file logwatch may be the easier solution: https://mathias-kettner.de/checkmk_logfiles.html You may also want to look at writing a local check: https://mathias-kettner.de/checkmk_localchecks.html Cheers, Marius From: <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> on behalf of Dennis Sweben <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> Date: Monday, 30 January 2017 at 17:06 To: "[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>" <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> Subject: [omd-users] Monitoring file Hi all, I made a python script that does a login to a custom server. I would like to monitor a file that it can write. The file will contain a string, Online Or Offline I can run this on the monitoring server itself using a cronjob or whatever. Whats the best way to monitor the output of this 'local file' on the monitoring-server itself? I do want to have Ok, Unknown, Critical for this and trigger notifications etc. Kind regards, Dennis _______________________________________________ omd-users mailing list [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> http://lists.mathias-kettner.de/mailman/listinfo/omd-users
