Jolson thank you very much, that worked. I am now able to monitor files on the server. Thanks again!!!!

That definitely pointed me in the right direction. I found the following: Apr 28 12:39:16 csappia21 rsyslogd:could not load module '/usr/lib64/rsyslog/imfile', dlopen: /usr/lib64/rsyslog/imfile: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory There is no imfile in that directory. Based on ...

Neither command worked: [root@csappia21.qa ~]# rsyslogd -f /etc/rsyslog.d/99-nagioslogserver.conf -N 1 rsyslogd: invalid option -- N usage: rsyslogd [-46AdhqQvw] [-l hostlist] [-m markinterval] [-n] [-p path] [-s domainlist] [-r[port]] [-tport[,max-sessions]] [-gport[,max-sessions]] [-f conffile] [-...

I added the line, restarted the service, tried the command again, same thing: [root@csappia21.qa etc]# bash setup-linux.sh -s 10.80.44.121 -p 5544 -f /tmp/steve.txt -t csappia21-tmp-steve.txt Detected rsyslog 2.0.6 Detected rsyslog work directory /var/spool/rsyslog Destination Log Server: 10.80.44.1...

Unfortunately restarting rsyslog does not correct the problem. We have restarted it several times with no positive results. Here is the file: [root@csappia21.qa etc]# cat /etc/rsyslog.conf # Log all kernel messages to the console. # Logging much else clutters up the screen. #kern.* /dev/console # Lo...

Jolson thanks for getting back to me. The file was created in the /etc/rsyslog.d/99-nagioslogserver.conf: ### Begin forwarding rule for Nagios Log Server NAGIOSLOGSERVER $WorkDirectory /var/spool/rsyslog # Where spool files will live NAGIOSLOGSERVER $ActionQueueFileName nlsFwdRule0 # Unique name pre...

Ok we installed rsyslog on the first server we are trying to monitor. When I attempt to run the bash setup-linux.sh command I get the following: [root@csappia21.qa etc]# bash setup-linux.sh -s 10.80.44.121 -p 5544 Detected rsyslog 2.0.6 Detected rsyslog work directory /var/spool/rsyslog Destination ...

Jolson thank you so much for assisting me. This last change you recommended finally worked. The process is now being found and I know what to do going forward. Thanks again!

Ok. I removed the 2 lines I originally added and added the one line you indicated on the server I am trying to monitor: command[check_for_space_thing]=/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_services -p 'Route\s/opt/nyfix/abim/current/config/appia\sFMPQA2-10011\sDEBUG' I then restarted the xinetd process on...

In the instructions for adding log file monitoring to a server with NLS it indicates syslog must be running on the server to be monitored. Currently on our production servers we are using syslogd. Is there a way to use syslogd instead of syslog to send the data to the NLS? I found solutions for sysl...
