Hi, I'm trying to integrate swatch in nagios (via passive checks, I want swatch as a reaction to a 'hit' run the submit_check_result into a passive check).
But I'm having a lot of problems with the commandline parameters. for example, swatch offers the $_ parameter containing the entire line from e.g. a solaris message file. But these files then to contain characters that are interpreted by the shell such as [ and ' and whatever. Basicly, I want to search a logfile for a regular expression, and if there's a match, I want the entire line to be sent to nagios (preferrably via a passive check). I do not want to use the nagios plugin checklog because it's too kludgy for my taste. How do you integrate logfile parsing in to nagios ? I've installed SEC also (http://simple-evcorr.sourceforge.net) but it appears to be far too complex for my needs. Thanks for your input on this matter. regards, Tom. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.
