5 # Log file regular expression detector for Nagios.
6 # Written by Aaron Bostick (abostick@mydoconline.com)

9 # Thanks and acknowledgements to Ethan Galstad for Nagios and the check_log
10 # plugin this is modeled after.
12 # Usage: check_log2 -l <log_file> -s <seek_file> -p <pattern> [-n <negpattern>]
14 # Description:
16 # This plugin will scan arbitrary text files looking for regular expression
17 # matches. The text file to scan is specified with <log_file>.
18 # <log_seek_file> is a temporary file used to store the seek byte position
19 # of the last scan. This file will be created automatically on the first
20 # scan. <pattern> can be any RE pattern that perl's s/// syntax accepte. Be
21 # forewarned that a bad pattern will send this script into never never land!
23 # Output:
25 # This plugin returns OK when a file is successfully scanned and no pattern
26 # matches are found. WARNING is returned when 1 or more patterns are found
27 # along with the pattern count and the line of the last pattern matched.
28 # CRITICAL is returned when an error occurs, such as file not found, etc.
30 # Notes (paraphrased from check_log's notes):
32 # 1. The "max_attempts" value for the service should be 1, as this
33 # will prevent Nagios from retrying the service check (the
34 # next time the check is run it will not produce the same results).
36 # 2. The "notify_recovery" value for the service should be 0, so that
37 # Nagios does not notify you of "recoveries" for the check. Since
38 # pattern matches in the log file will only be reported once and not
39 # the next time, there will always be "recoveries" for the service, even
40 # though recoveries really don't apply to this type of check.
42 # 3. You *must* supply a different <log_Seek_file> for each service that
43 # you define to use this plugin script - even if the different services
44 # check the same <log_file> for pattern matches. This is necessary
45 # because of the way the script operates.
47 # Examples:
49 # Check for error notices in messages
50 # check_log2 -l /var/log/messages -s ./check_log2.messages.seek -p 'err'
