Hi Roland,
We are monitoring file1.txt on a windows server named "server1". The file1.txt is located on the E-disk > folder1 > folder11 > file1.txt
and the pattern we are searching for is *ERROR* somewhere in the file1.txt.
The template we are using in technical monitoring is a copy of the windows template and is assigned to "server1".
I've added in the SAPCCMSR.INI file for the host agent following line:
LogFile \\Server1\E$\folder1\folder11
then I have restarted the host agent.
The metric we created is a File Text Pattern Search with following settings:
DATEPATTERN: yyyy-MM-dd
DELTA_READ: True
ENCODING: UTF-8
FILEPATTERN: \Q*file*\E
FOLDER: \Q\\Server1\E$\folder1\folder11\E
MONITOR_NEWEST_FILES: 20
SEARCHPATTERN: *error*
SHOW_MATCHES: yes
The metric is checked every minute and has to be "red" if there is "1" ERROR
I assigned the metric to the existing alert "logfile monitoring"
After that, I just saved and reactivated the assignment for the windows template to "server1".
Could you maybe help us out with this information?
Best regards,
Kenny
