Nagios Support Forum

Hi,

I have a log server which stores application logs very frequently. If any errors in my application, it will be updated with time stamps.
Sample:

[Critical] Unable to fetch the info
[Warning] Overload
[Ok] Restored

I wanted to monitor this log file and verify this message very frequently. Do we have any plugin to monitor this?
-Its a Single file and it will be overwrite. we should find the last string and it can be monitored via Nagios. Please check and confirm for this suitable plugin..


Thanks in Advance..
Regards
Raj.

There are a number of check_log plugins on the exchange. Most allow you to check for a string and alert based on what it finds. See the following links:
