Yes. Any modern syslog daemon (rsyslog for instance) can be used to send logs to the local host as files, and to a remote host. Log Server doesn't do anything to the host, the host just sends data to the Log Server. You may need a man page for your systems's specific syslog service.

What happens when you execute this on the remote host as the nagios user: /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_log3.pl -l /weblogs/PRODUCTION/kpi/kpi.log -p Processing -p End -p Start -s /var/log/seek_files/check_log3_kpi_completion.seek -w 1 -c 1 And what happens when you execute this on the Nagios host...

For what it's worth, NLS would run on a separate box and syslog could send data to it. But that's just a suggestion.

I would use the Nagios Log Server for this, personally. Details at https://www.nagios.com/products/nagios-log-server.

Otherwise, you are likely looking at a sudo or other protection problem. Since I don't know what the script does, I can't say for sure.

The error you're seeing is indicative of not being able to make an SSL connection. This is often caused by the client NRPE server not being compiled on a system w...

Is this a custom plugin? I'm not familiar with it. At any rate, my quick assessment is that if you are always passing in "[]" as a parameter, then it doesn't need to be passed in. It could be specified in the nrpe.cfg file (or one of its include) as a direct parameter on the command line. ...

I would use a grok filter to match fields. Harder to set up but easier to maintain in the future with more flexibility.

Now you have to filter out everything you don't want. Ugly and not very scalable. Unless you know that everything you don't want matches a predictable pattern and can filter out based on that.

Glad to be of help. Feel free to nominate me for a Nagios MVP award using the link in my signature if you think it was good help!
