Testing of alerts
Posted: Tue Sep 11, 2018 8:28 am
I have several alerts setup in my configuration. But I want a method to test and ensure that when a message shows up in syslog it does alert. Not sure if NLS has the capability.
Code: Select all
[root@ahri ~]$ sudo yum whatprovides nc
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, langpacks
Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile

Else, if the remote system that is shipping logs has logger available, you could use that to test.
