How to monitor a log file that generates a random id?
Posted: Tue Nov 20, 2018 1:22 am
This the log file that I want to monitor:
I want Nagios to read it this log file so I can monitor a specific string.
The issue is with **15215125111115** this is the random id that gets generated
Here is my script where the Nagios is checking for the **Logfile** path:
**Veriables:**
HOSTNAMEIP=$(/bin/hostname -i)
DATE=$(date +%F)
..
....
I am getting the following output in nagios:
*`could not find logfile /test/James-2018-11-16_-16.15.41.111-appserver0.log`*
**15215125111115** This number is always generated randomly but I don't know how to get nagios to identify it. Is there a way to add a variable for this or something? I tried adding an asterisk "*" but that didn't work.
Any ideas would be much appreciated.
Code: Select all
