Hi Marius, Just now I set the logwatch.cfg To C ERROR W WARNING W SUCCESS
Using the logwatch patterns I put the ‘state’ of the log line. However the state of the service stays ‘critical’ Is there any way I can set the state by using only the last line ? It’s important to have the logs, but the state must only be the current status not what it was in the past.

Do you maybe know what steps to do? Also I don’t really understand the logwatch.cfg /home/myCMS.log # C: Critical messages # W: Warning messages # I: ignore these lines (OK) # R: Rewrite the output previous match. You can use \1, \2 etc. for refer to groups (.*) of this match # The first match decided. Lines that do not match any pattern # are ignored C ERROR W WARNING I INFO But ofcourse, like mentioned INFO will be ignored. A little help would be great! ☺ Specially the rule you are talking about Kind regards, Dennis From: Marius Pana <[email protected]> Date: 1-31-2017 at 09:23 To: Dennis Sweben <[email protected]> Cc: "[email protected]" <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [omd-users] Monitoring file You could create a rule and set the state to OK once you encounter the text INFO :) From: Dennis Sweben <[email protected]> Date: Tuesday, 31 January 2017 at 10:21 To: Marius Pana <[email protected]> Cc: "[email protected]" <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [omd-users] Monitoring file Hi all, As advised I setup the logwatch. Took me a while to figure out the .cfg file etc. Anyways, the ‘logwatch’ seems to be ‘static’ until you clear / acknowledge the log file. Is there any solution to put it the state of the service back to ‘OK’ if the last message contains INFO? Thanks!

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 _______________________________________________ omd-users mailing list [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> http://lists.mathias-kettner.de/mailman/listinfo/omd-users
