#!/bin/sh # # Log file pattern detector plugin for monitoring # Written originally by Ethan Galstad (nagios@nagios.org) # # Usage: ./check_log # # Description: # # This plugin will scan a log file (specified by the option) # for a specific pattern (specified by the option). Successive # calls to the plugin script will only report *new* pattern matches in the # log file, since an copy of the log file from the previous run is saved # to . # # Output: # # On the first run of the plugin, it will return an OK state with a message # of "Log check data initialized". On successive runs, it will return an OK # state if *no* pattern matches have been found in the *difference* between the # log file and the older copy of the log file. If the plugin detects any # pattern matches in the log diff, it will return a CRITICAL state and print # out a message is the following format: "(x) last_match", where "x" is the # total number of pattern matches found in the file and "last_match" is the # last entry in the log file which matches the pattern. # # Notes: # # If you use this plugin make sure to keep the following in mind: # # 1. The "max_attempts" value for the service should be 1, as this will # prevent the monitoring system from retrying the service check (the # next time the check is run it will not produce the same results). # # 2. The "notify_recovery" value for the service should be 0, so that the # monitoring system does not notify you of "recoveries" for the check. # Since pattern matches in the log file will only be reported once and # not the next time, there will always be "recoveries" for the service, # even though recoveries really don't apply to this type of check. # # 3. You *must* supply a different for each service that # you define to use this plugin script - even if the different services # check the same for pattern matches. This is necessary # because of the way the script operates. # # 4. This plugin does NOT have an understanding of logrotation or similar # mechanisms. Therefore bad timing could lead to missing events # # # Examples: # # Check for login failures in the syslog... # # check_log /var/log/messages ./check_log.badlogins.old "LOGIN FAILURE" # # Check for port scan alerts generated by Psionic's PortSentry software... # # check_log /var/log/message ./check_log.portscan.old "attackalert" # # Paths to commands used in this script. These # may have to be modified to match your system setup.
