Re: [Hyperic-hq-discuss] How to scan a log file for a pattern

[Thomas J. <tho...@tr...>]

Hi

Thanks for the answer ... it works as described ...

But I would prefer something more configurable, particularily for the patterns. 

What I am thinking of is something, that I can configure per file I want to track inlcude and exclude patterns.

With Oracle, particularly some additional products such as OAS etc. I have numrous log files to scan. And when I have all to include in one configuration together with the syslog, this becomes quite crowded and difficult to maintain.

So is this the only way to do log file monitoring ... (well except maybe writing a script) ?

Thanks.

Thomas
