plugin to monitor remote unix server oracle alert log file for ORA- errors...

i will be using SSH for monitoring this file...

do you have any plugin for this

Here's our documentation on monitoring hosts via SSH:

http://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nagi ... ng_SSH.pdf

Is this what you were looking for?

No...i need to monitor a log file for certain patterns on a remote aix host

I believe this can do what you are looking for, in perl

http://exchange.nagios.org/directory/Pl ... nt/details

does this require any installation on the remote machine that i will be monitoring in order to make this Perl script work?

This perl script would be installed on the remote machine and then called via NRPE or check_by_ssh

i tried another script that was available on nagios on remote server....i get the following error

remhau:/users/nagios> ./check_log3.pl -h
Can't locate utils.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/opt/perl5/lib/5.8.8/aix-thread-multi /usr/opt/perl5/lib/5.8.8 /usr/opt/perl5/lib/site_perl/5.8.8/aix-thread-multi /usr/opt/perl5/lib/site_perl/5.8.8 /usr/opt/perl5/lib/site_perl .) at ./check_log3.pl line 147.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at ./check_log3.pl line 147.

This plugin also expects to find the utils.pm file in it's directory. You can find a copy of it on your Nagios XI server in /usr/local/nagios/libexec

i tried..but now it is showing incorrect result...it shows no matches found even if there is a text in the file i am searching

remhau:/users/nagios> check_log3.pl -l '/u01/oracle/admin/remprd10/bdump/alert_remprd10.log' -s alertlog.seek -p 'autobackup'
OK - No matches found.

remhau:/users/nagios> check_log3.pl -l '/u01/oracle/admin/remprd10/bdump/alert_remprd10.log' -s alertlog.seek -p Thread -w 1
