Have you taken a look at Nagios Log Server? This is a product that we offer that makes this very easy to do. The free version can handle 500MB/day worth of logs. I would check that out. It will be much easier to do than using Nagios XI to do it.

Hi Hsmith,

I am checking the url https://labs.consol.de/nagios/check_log ... stallation and i see that the script is not fully installed.

Code: Select all

./configure
checking whether to enable maintainer-specific portions of Makefiles... no
checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c
checking whether build environment is sane... yes
checking for a thread-safe mkdir -p... /bin/mkdir -p
checking for gawk... gawk
checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes
checking whether make supports nested variables... yes
checking build system type... x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
checking host system type... x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... (cached) yes
variable with_seekfiles_dir is /var/tmp/check_logfiles
checking for sh... /bin/sh
checking for perl... /usr/bin/perl
checking for gzip... /bin/gzip
checking for gawk... /bin/gawk
checking for echo... /bin/echo
checking for sed... /bin/sed
checking for cat... /bin/cat
checking that generated files are newer than configure... done
configure: creating ./config.status
config.status: creating Makefile
config.status: creating plugins-scripts/Makefile
config.status: creating plugins-scripts/subst
config.status: creating t/Makefile
                       --with-perl: /usr/bin/perl
                       --with-gzip: /bin/gzip
              --with-seekfiles-dir: /var/tmp/check_logfiles
              --with-protocols-dir: /tmp
               --with-trusted-path: /bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin
                --with-nagios-user: nagios
               --with-nagios-group: nagios
[root@mysimstlin-0072 check_logfiles-3.7.4]#
COuld you please suggest if I am missing anywhere.

I need to check about nagios log server, coz I am not sure if we have only 500 MB for day.

Locking as this has been moved into a ticket, we'll continue support there.
