Ian,
No, I haven't specifically used LogParser for a check like this (last line of a
file). I have used it in other checks, normally called through a batch file.
Typically I use it to scan the log/file in question and direct the output to a
CSV file. If there are no matches, the file is not created. I then use IF
EXIST to return a different errorlevel.
Here is a DOS example to alarm if there is a file with the name ERROR in the
current directory.
rem Look for error files
rem
rem - clear old outputs.
if exist output1.txt del output1.txt
rem - query file system
Logparser "Select Path into output1.txt from *.* where Path
like '%%ERROR%%'" -i:fs -o:CSV
If exist output1.txt exit 1
exit 0
Since LogParser can also query Active Directory, you can do some neat stuff,
like alarm if the CEO's password hasn't been reset in more than 90 days,
etc.....

Subject: [SA-list] Schedule
Hi,
I want to use a schedule on a server. My checks for that server have a "parent"
check (a ping), and various "child" checks that are dependent on that initial
ping. If I put the schedule on the parent, do I need to add a schedule for
child checks as well, or will the parent's schedule effectively stop the child
checks too?
Cheers,
Ian
