You've seen answers on how to handle the remote communication. As far as the log parsing, you're not the first to want to do that. check_log is included in the standard plugins and there are others I am aware of that can be found by searching Nagios Exchange or the web. # Usage: ./check_log <log_file> <old_log_file> <pattern> # # Description: # # This plugin will scan a log file (specified by the <log_file> option) # for a specific pattern (specified by the <pattern> option). Successive # calls to the plugin script will only report *new* pattern matches in the # log file, since an copy of the log file from the previous run is saved # to <old_log_file>. -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Stay on top of everything new and different, both inside and around Java (TM) technology - register by April 22, and save $200 on the JavaOne (SM) conference, June 2-5, 2009, San Francisco. 300 plus technical and hands-on sessions.
