Nagios Support Forum

Hi Experts,

We got the requirement to configure logfile monitoring on Linux server.

configuring text based monitoring on Webservices Application Servers logs present under the following path:

/usr/jboss/jboss-soa-p.4.3.0/jboss-as/logs
Please share script and steps to monitor the logfile

There are a number of Jboss based plugins here:

If you are just trying to view a standard log file and parse it I would take a look at this:

Thanks for your reply,

Now i can understand that we can use the check_log file plugin, and could you please suggest me that, how and where we can place the Warning and critical value and word pattern.

This page will explain the usage as well as examples of that plugin:

You can also use the -h flag when calling the plugin from the command line to show usage examples.

Hi Experts,

I'm new to this Nagios tool, please share step by step to install Nagios Plug-in and help me to use checked_logfile.
