The check_logfiles Nagios plug-in is a great one, but suffers from little quirks in some situations. It allows to search for user-defined patterns in logfiles.
I re-implemented it, in the same spirit, with the following features:
- - single binary executable, no dependency
- fast
- uses a YAML definition file
- in addition to calling a script, it can send data in JSON to a TCP address or a UNIX domain socket
- Linux, BSD & Windows
- manage log rotations
Comments welcome
