monitoring Logs Trigger

[Esdras]

Guys,

I've been trying to monitor a log inside a Linux server and it's been a painful stuff, I'm new to zabbix, i used BigBrother and Nagios before and this task was quite simple in that tools.

I've created the item Fetchmail LOG, selected the Zabbix client Active and the key is this: log["/var/log/fetchmail","error",100]

I can see in the debug log of the client that the agent is finding the patern, but i believe my problem is the trigger, I really don't undestand how I should create this trigger, it don't accept numeric values.

Can someone help me to create this trigger? I need to receive an e-mail all the time that there is error in this log, should be very simple.

Thanks!
Esdras

Someone can help me to identify what I'm doing wrong?

{server:log[/var/log/fetchmail].str(error)}=1

It does not allow me to save, shows these errors:

Not allowed symbols or sequence of symbols in expression element detected: Check expression part starting from ' #0) '
Not allowed symbols or sequence of symbols in expression element detected: Check expression part starting from ' })#0) '
Trigger [FetchMail Support LOG Trigger ]: cannot update

Even then in the documentation it shows a example with str and number in the trigger.

Hi Esdras,

if this is your item: log["/var/log/fetchmail","error",100],

then this should be your trigger:

{server:log["/var/log/fetchmail","error",100].str(error)}=1

greets
Patrick

P.S. to be shure delete the old trigger and make a new one

Hi Patrick,

Thanks very much for your answer, I deleted my previous trigger and put this one, how long it takes to run this new trigger? the icon is still red "trigger just added".

Is there a way to use regexp to do that?

like:

{server:log["/var/log/fetchmail","error",100].regexp('error')}=1

I tried that but it's not working...

Thanks again!

still not working,

I restarted the agent, the server, deleted the old triggers..

It's saying it in the trigger error:

Trigger just added. No status update so far.

Is there a way to debug it? The debug level of my agent is 4 and I can't see any logs related to it. To find error in a log file should be a very simple stuff, I really don't know what I'm doing wrong.

Thanks!

Guys,

It is not working yet... Please,*someone could help me?

I tried using the item with "" and without "", i tried the trigger with iregexp and str but it's not working.

What is wrong?

Item:
log[/var/log/fetchmail,error,100]

Trigger:
{server:log[/var/log/fetchmail,error,100].str(error)}=1


It should be a very simple stuff, I'm about to give up on zabbix.
Thanks guys.
