NSClient++ Help (#1) - Eventlog Filter 0.4.2 (#991) - Message List

Hello,

thanks -- it´s works fine...

greatings from Germany

Jörg

Sorry... feelt almost stupid...

it should be ...type = 'error'...

The error is a string not a variable :)

Michael Medin

Sorry forgot, will try to check this (and the auto-lc) tonight... hopefully some new tomorrow...

Hello,

has you look at this ?

thanks,

Jörg

Well, the error is with the filter:

e og\CheckEventLog.cpp:152  Error validating filter: Invalid types: Variable not
 found: error

Means the filter (I should probably add so it displays with cone) was not parsed. NOt sure why I can look into this when I get back home...

Hello,

yes, Thread 529 ist known.

My problem stay alive :-( No filter Match...

If you check #529 it has good information on how to do something a bit more advanced but should hopefully be a good starting point.

As it seems the syntax I have now is "ok" I shall start writing some documentations about it hopefully this or next week...

But some short presudo configuration for you:

[settings/eventlog/real-time]
enabled=true
[/settings/eventlog/real-time/filters/errors]
filter=type = error
severity = CRITICAL
destination=NSCA
syntax=The end is neigh: %message%
ok message = Seems we are doing ok
command=my_eventlog_check

In addition to this you also need to configure NSCAClient (again pseudo configuration as I don't recall the syntax off the top of my head):

[/settings/NSCA/client/targets/default]
address=192.168.0.1:5667
encryption=aes
password=very-very-secret
