Monitoring log files...

[misterdan]

Hi all.

I read in an earlier post that log file monitoring wasn't working in alpha9 but would be changed considerably in alpha10. I am running beta2 and wondered if log file monitoring was implemented fully?

We are trying to monitor a Windows log file and although the item adds in successfully, we get no values returned. What does the log[filename] key actually return - is it the text of the logfile? Also, does this work on Windows and Unix clients?

This doesn't seem to be documented too well just yet.

Thanks for your time,

Dan

log[filename] works under Unix only. Use eventlog[Application|Security|System] for monitoring of Windows event logs.
