Hi, I am using apache and configured logs with timestamp. I am facing potential problem in adding these files through add monitor command. I don't know which is effective way I can use to add log files. same time it should not read old files.
CustomLog "|bin/rotatelogs /var/logs/logfile 86400" common for example error_log.1388707200 (this is not even a time dadte, this is system time) I read some article using a solution blunk http://answers.splunk.com/answers/23671/monitoring-timestamp-rotation-log-files that we can just add the directory where our logs are stored .. I think I am going to use Negios for monitoring. I am not sure if someone can point me out the directions? (Open source solution would be preferable) Many thanks, Thanks and regards, Eric
