Hi All,

Could you please help me with the below requirement is possible with Nagios or not

->I have log file and i need to configure a threshold for the last record in that log file and raise a mail when it cross the threshold. Is this possible with Nagios core.

->I want to run a DB query and monitor the output of that query by keeping a threshold for that output. Is this possible

Yup, check_log3 is the plugin I would recommend for this.

Also, Nagios Log Server has a free tier and can do this.

Depends on the DBMS used, but generally yes there's plugins for every major DBMS. I know for a fact this can be done with MariaDB/MySQL and SQL Server if using the correct plugin.

Thanks @mcapra!

OP, did you have any other questions on this topic?
