Nagios Support Forum

Hi all,

The check_logfiles Nagios plug-in is a great one, but suffers from little quirks in some situations. It allows to search for user-defined patterns in logfiles.

I re-implemented it, in the same spirit, with the following features:

• - single binary executable, no dependency
  - fast
  - uses a YAML definition file
  - in addition to calling a script, it can send data in JSON to a TCP address or a UNIX domain socket
  - Linux, BSD & Windows
  - manage log rotations
