Foglight - monitor a file

All,

I need monitor a single log file. I need to measure growth over time. If she stops to grow for 30 minutes or more, then it should alarm. What would be the best way to handle this?

Thank you

I wrote a custom agent that is currently the following measures:

echo filename. String.ID = $file

the echo of lastaccess: seconds = $LASTACCESS

echo user. StringObservation.Obs = $OWNER

the echo Group. StringObservation.Obs = $GROUP

accessto the echo. StringObservation.Obs = $ACCESS

I also have a project that requires the supervision of a file size.

This custom agent must be updated to support the file size.

I'll definitely have built this until next Friday.

The agent has an entry for a specific file name, so you won't need to reverse engineer all xml files. (It's funny:-D))

If I'm done with it, I'll post to this topic.

Please note, there will be two cartridges. One is for Linux (bash required) and one for Windows (Powershell 2.0 required).

Maybe they are suitable for your monitoring needs.

  • Foglight monitoring log file

    Hi all

    We use the IC 5.6.7 cartridge for our monitoring infra goal. We have a requirement for the windows log file monitoring so that we can trigger alerts based on the words and we have not inherited cartridge more.

    Can we control logs using IC cartridge or any separate available for monitoring log files?

    Please let us know those required as we need.

  • Windows NT - monitor the file system

    Hello.

    How can I track the file windows nt (clear) system?

    It seems to not be supported.

    Thank you!!!

    Our data collector can not run on NT, so if you want to be remotely via the mounting on a remote system drives and their follow-up of this, or running a calendar script in the NT box that transforms the information somewhere on the network, then we would analyze and read through.  Anyway it's going to be a bit of work with the agent script.

    A good premise for script agents can be found here.  http://en.community.Dell.com/TechCenter/performance-monitoring/Foglight-administrators/w/Admins-wiki/6136.custom-agents-script-agent-data-modeling-and-units

  • Foglight monitoring process

    Hi all

    I got a new requirement, in which there are two servers in which we monitor the process as a whole. Is it possible using foglight to monitor any kind of process?

    Need your help in this regard.

    -Shiva

    We can do so with an agent named "appmonitor", it is a part of the supervision of legacy OS.

    You can see and example and information about it here

  • PS_App could not be found in foglight monitor agent areas

    Hi all

    We have configured the monitor agent PS App for Peoplesoft-Windows machine monitoring. We gave the home path and the path of smoking in the properties of the Agent and the cartridge is 5.6.2.1 we use.

    the agent is unable to find the areas for the host, especially for Windows machines.

    Please suggest some troubleshooting steps to resolve this problem.

    Thank you best regards &,.

    Guenoun

    Gokuinath, I recommend put you foglight agent manager that is associated with the agent of PeopleSoft application in debug mode. With the debug mode, we can see in file of newspaper on what additional information the agent.

    The command below will activate the debug mode without having to restart a foglight agent manager:

    fglam.exe - set-global-debug-level 1

    You must disable and re-enable the peoplesoft application agent that you have worked.

    To do additional debugging, we see the files of fglam newspapers and the foglight peoplesoft agent logs

  • Foglight monitoring Exchange - error

    Hi all

    In Exchange for monitoring configuraion, initial stage itself am getting the error below, we are unable to find the exchange server.

    Access error in the ISTEST.com with the supplied user name and password: javax.naming.CommunicationException: ISTEST.com:389 [Root exception is java.net.ConnectException: Connection timed out: connect]

    I have attached the snapshot for your reference.

    The most important thing with the exchange agent follows the prerequisites, they are under "System requirements" in the release notes http://edocs.quest.com/foglight/567/files/CartridgeForExchange_5632_ReleaseNotes.html

    Given that most of the problems that we saw had not all the conditions in place pre, I recommend from release notes.

    We all need, otherwise the installation will fail with all sorts of errors

    .

    If you think that you have followed all of the pre conditions and will still have problems there is a diagnostic tool

    http://eDOCS.quest.com/Foglight/567/files/RemoteAccessDiagnostics_Guide.PDF

    Make sure that you run the tool on the computer you want to monitor, and you choose the option for a unique/local server test, the diagnostics tool will specify what is missing in the prerequisites.

  • Monitor log file for Netbackup

    Hello

    We seek to monitor Netbackup backup errors in Foglight and I was wondering the best way to go about it.  In essence the software Netbackup written in a file (C:\Program Files\Legato\nsr\logs\backup_failure.log) and I want to draw attention when we get some messages, such as "Impossible" or "unsuccessful save sets. I tried to use the logfilter legacy agent, but this doesn't seem to work or I set up correctly.  No matter which help out me?  Also, everything what we use, that we will be able to draw the line complete or just be a generic alarm syaing "there is a problem with a nackup of netbackup" kind of thing?

    All advice appreciated.

    Thank you

    Davie

    Hey Davie,

    The LogFilter legacy agent is probably the best way to control this log file. Here's and example of how to configure the list of game:

    For your case, you should be able to enter "Down" and "Unsuccessful save sets" on separate lines in the Match string column, and then matched with the appropriate alarm severities.

    The resulting configuration alarms like this:

    The alarm message reports the first 255 characters of the corresponding journal line.

    After setting up and activation of the LogFilter agent, check the agent log to verify that he was able to find and read the target log file.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones phone slow - activity monitor - the file manager/Explorer

    In fact, I have 3 questions that are more or less related I think.  (1) I installed a lot of apps since getting my 9530 Storm a few days ago, especially to try.  Since then, occasionally when I try to do something, I'll see just the icon of "transformation" (the circular icon with the one hand forward like a clock) for a very long time.  It is not always the same app or thing I try to do.  I suspect that * part * of the problem is that I was not closing apps - that moving from one to the other, and he left running in memory to the bottom of things (in particular, I suspect PocketDay and Internet browser for it).  Keep the battery solved the problem every time.  This leads to my next question: (2) is it a kind of application or activity monitor app which will let me know what programs are juice?  I saw a kind of app somewhere that is supposed to kind of manage the memory and do a "battery pull reboot" without physically pull the battery.  Maybe that's what I'm looking for.  (3) is there a kind of thing edge file manager/Explorer?  I know there must be an app for this, and I have no problem any display on my lap as mass storage.  I'm talking about something from the BB itself.  Recommendations for a good?   Thanks for any comment on this.  I will do this kind of things slowly, but thought it was a jet-out for some ideas.

    Hello!

    Lots of advice... start here...

    There are three types of potential memory on a BB: 1) application memory, the device memory) 2 and 3) Media/SD memory card

    Application memory - it is the most important; It is protected (not available to the user), dedicated and (fixed size) space as the destination for the installation of applications (more a few storage applications, overhead and other costs). You can't touch AppMemory. You cannot improve the maximum AppMemory that your BB has. It is what it is. Applications can install only here... There is no other choice.

    The device memory - it is space on your BB you can touch these files, images, media, etc. In general, it is not very big, but it is available.

    Memory card SD/Media - is what it says... your SD card to store files, media, photos, etc.. It can be as large as your BB OS can support... see this KB:
    http://www.BlackBerry.com/BTSC/KB05461

    On some devices/OS levels, enforcement and the memory of the device are combined into "free file"... This is, IMO, a little more difficult to administer that you can't see really how AppMemory you have. Nevertheless, here are some tips to use:
    http://www.BlackBerry.com/BTSC/KB15345
    http://www.BlackBerry.com/BTSC/KB14320
    http://www.BlackBerry.com/BTSC/KB14213

    Finally, it is always important to correctly close applications when you are finished with them. Using the back or on the red button won't do that - those leave the app to decide what to do... and some let themselves memory-resident, consumes resources on your BB, slowing down the overall performance. Rather, to close an application, press the BBKey and select 'Farm' or 'Quit'... that forces the application to be closed, freeing for your new use the resources it consumed. Some applications will always be running (in general - BBMessenger, browser, homescreen, phone and Messages)... but, you should always close them properly - especially the browser... If we leave on a web page, it will not consume only additional resources, but the power of the battery as well.

    Now, to your question about memory management and a reboot Batt-Pull simulated... There is indeed an application for the part... of the latter it is called QuickPull and it is available via AppWorld or directly from Steelhorn. I have the pro version and it works fine - except that he can't perform the reset if the device is locked with a password. But I can work around that. I restart my storm every night and allows me to stay in good shape... full batt-tire is a rare thing now (zero not... just rare).

    Regarding the management of files embedded... Indeed it is. Launch the Media application, but do not select any of the individual applications. Press the BBKey and select Explorer... you are now in the native file Explorer.

    See you soon!

    Good luck!

  • ANY way to monitor audio files on a 70 d when shooting video?

    I know there is a meter if you go to the menu, but I want to follow live with headphones on what comes out, not what is happening.  I can monitor the entry but want to make sure that the output is not saturated.  Any advice would be wonderful.  I tried to connect the A / V cable of the camera and audio surveillance there during the filming, but it does not work.  I know that the HDMI audio is muted during recording, as well.  This isn't a minor issue for those of us who want to ensure that we have sound quality, I use a mixer and multiple sources during the shooting.

    Summersond,

    It is not a method to produce the audio signal only the EOS 70 d with headphones while recording video.  We apologize for any inconvenience this may bring you at this time.

  • Foglight monitoring Windows services

    the majority of our servers are running on VM, vFoglight is very convenient on the system and monitoring of resources. But if I have to watch the top and to the bottom of the application processes, without having to install any agent. Any suggestions?

    Yes, you need an agent for each host that you want to monitor the services, but these agents can run remotely, which means that you can have multiple agents on a single host FglAM WindowsHost.

    Foglight comes with lots of rules out of the box for a large number of items.

    If the element is there, and the data is there, the rule kicked in and verify the information (that's the idea behind DATA driven rules).

    If the item or data are not there, there is no reason to run the rule.
