6. LogAgent
The probes in this section monitor the log files on your systems. You can use them to query logs
for certain expressions and track the sizes of files. For LogAgent probes to run, the
nocpulse
user must be granted read access to your log files.
Note that data from the first run of these probes is not measured against the thresholds to
prevent spurious notifications caused by incomplete metric data. Measurements will begin on
the second run.
6.1. LogAgent::Log Pattern Match
The LogAgent::Log Pattern Match probe uses regular expressions to match text located within
the monitored log file and collects the following metrics:
• Regular Expression Matches — The number of matches that have occurred since the probe
last ran.
• Regular Expression Match Rate — The number of matches per minute since the probe last
ran.
Requirements — The Red Hat Network Monitoring Daemon (
rhnmd
) must be running on the
monitored system to execute this probe. For this probe to run, the
nocpulse
user must be
granted read access to your log files.
In addition to the name and location of the log file to be monitored, you must provide a regular
expression to be matched against. The expression must be formatted for
egrep
, which is
equivalent to
grep -E
and supports extended regular expressions. This is the regular
expression set for
egrep
:
^ beginning of line
$ end of line
. match one char
* match zero or more chars
[] match one character set, e.g. '[Ff]oo'
