How to show multi-line of output using check_logfiles

[prabakaran]

Hi all,
I used check_logfiles for Windows log files monitoring using "NSCliet++". Plug-in can identifies the no of errors on particular time, but it shows on UI (or EMail) with minimal results like below, here it shows 4 errors, 4 warnings but in mail it sent only one ERROR detail

CRITICAL - (4 errors, 4 warnings) - 8319: 20130204-001141-663: [401] (E:Utility) ERROR: Exception.cr/4280-aee3 /Error_DuplicateName/violation of unique constraint/ at System.Environment.StackTrace(Exception e, Boolean needFileInfo) ...

$seekfilesdir='.'; $MACROS = { LOGPATH => 'C:/xxxxxxx/yyyyyy/' }; $options = 'report=long'; @searches = ({ tag => 'Test', type => 'rotating::uniform', logfile => '$LOGPATH$20121104-040845-389-TestFile.txt', rotation => '.TestFile.', criticalpatterns => ['.ERROR:.'], warningpatterns => ['.WARNING:.'],
options => 'noprotocol,nologfilenocry' });

I tried with maxlength=4096 in 'options' also, but it doesn't resolve. How can i get whole errors and warning details in Mail alert and UI? Please help me to solve this.

Thanks

For notifications you should be able to add in the following macro in the notification configuration to see additional output from the checks.

Next to $SERVICEOUTPUT$ place $LONGSERVICEOUTPUT$.

Code: Select all

$SERVICEOUTPUT$ $LONGSERVICEOUTPUT$

Slansing,thanks for your quick reply. Its really helps to me. But I required little more, Following is my email notification from Nagios

Additional Info: $SERVICEOUTPUT$
WARNING - (21 warnings) - 69085: 20130213-013933-805: [200] (W:CommonApiService) WARNING: RestApiHelper.RequestFilter: user is not in role ...

Actual warnings are 21, but i got 6 only. Compare to $SERVICEOUTPUT$ this one is fine, but can I get complete (i.e. 21 warnings) service output ?

Thanks

Is that how the check result is formatted for you in your actual email? It looks like it is returning an additional line but there is nothing on it:

68881: 20130213-013806-757: [227]

If you switch the notification definition from $SERVICEOUTPUT$$LONGSERVICEOUTPUT$

To $LONGSERVICEOUTPUT$ only, do you see everything after what you normally see?

Hi, after configured as you mentioned "$SERVICEOUTPUT$$LONGSERVICEOUTPUT$" i got below output,
Testing Info:

But my log file returning more lines,

67387: 20130220-024042-063: [020] (W:CommonApiService) WARNING: RestApiHelper.RequestFilter: user is not in role
... etc.,

How can I resolve it ?

Thanks

[slansing]

Can you show us an example of what you see on the service details page in your Nagios web UI? A copy and paste of the output with a screenshot would be great.

Hi,
I attached the output screenshot of error trace service. This is not same which I mentioned before, but similar to that. In here it shows 4 ERRORS , but I can view only two of them. These two error details only sent as a EMail alert. I want to send mail with complete error trace, How can I get complete error details ?

Thanks

[slansing]

What does the check output when you run it from the Nagios command line? Use the same command as is shown in the email notification, and let us know what the output is, thanks!

Hi,

I am having the same issue. Was this one resolved?
I tried the $SERVICEOUTPUT$ $LONGSERVICEOUTPUT$ but I am still not receiving all the errors in the email.

Thanks
