You may have to make a command for the plugin as well. Start with the following documents:

It looks like someone posted how to configure it in the comments section of the exchange download page:

If this is related to your other log thread, we can continue support on that thread or this one.

I believe you need to review the following document:

http://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nagi ... ios_XI.pdf

If you are unsure of how to test the checks from the command line, review our wiki page:

Thanks, I have this document, But you know, I try to add command and service follow the document instruction. But I can't find plug-in file logwarn-1.0.10.tar. How can that the file show for add command and service. This is my problem.
