The SystemEDGE agent can monitor any text files in a row-wise for regular expressions. To configure the agent to monitor log files, you create entries in the text (Log) File Monitor table of the Systems Management Empire MIB. Log file monitoring lets you automatically monitor multiple system or application log files for entries that require action.
When you create an entry in the Log File Monitor table, you set the polling interval, the log file(pattern) to monitor, the monitor severity, and a regular expression for which to search. The agent searches the log file for the specified regular expression and sends a trap when the file contains a message that matches the expression.
For example, you can configure the SystemEDGE agent to monitor an application log file for failure messages or messages that indicate unauthorized or incorrect usage.
You can also create entries in the Log File Monitor table to monitor file directories for size and contents (needs extra self monitors).
