I’m trying to figure out whether I can monitor my non-centralized mysqld.log
files using ossec agents? I’m just looking for some simple alerts for instance
when replication fails on a slave. But as far as I can see it’s not possible to
have rules on agents so I can’t see how I can match log lines or use regular
expressions like I can on the centralized syslog/ossec server.
Am I missing something really simple here? It seems as if I should be able to
do this without having to fall back to running sec on the db boxes.
Thanks in advance if anyone can set me straight,
Barnaby
