Linux Log file Monitoring + UserParameter issue.

[Bertrand39100]

Hello All,

I try to monitor linux log files, we 're hosting web applications and I want to be notified
everytime errors are inside some applications log file.

First ; I tried zabbix_agentd Log monitoring but with some issues.
I would use zabbix_agentd UserParameter :

Here is my config :
Zabbix server 1.8
Zabbix Agentd 1.8

Zabbix_agentd conf :

Server=172.17.x.x,172.17.x.x
Hostname=adm1.xxx.xxx
ServerPort=10051
ListenPort=10050
StartAgents=3
DebugLevel=4
RefreshActiveChecks=120
MaxLinesPerSecond=10
EnableRemoteCommands=1
LogRemoteCommands=1
LogFileSize=5
LogFile=/var/log/zabbix_agentd/zabbix_agentd.log
LogUnresolvedSymbols=/var/log/zabbix_agentd/zabbix_unresolved_symbols.log
PidFile=/var/run/zabbix_agentd/zabbix_agentd.pid
Include=/etc/zabbix_agentd/include/
Timeout=30
## Parameters
UserParameter=STRING_OPTION1,egrep "option" /test25_logmon/tcsd.conf
UserParameter=STRING_OPTION2,egrep "option" /test25_logmon/tcsd.conf | awk '{print $2}'
UserParameter=STRING_OPTION3,egrep "option" /test25_logmon/tcsd.conf | awk '{print $2}' | wc -l
## End Parameters


I created 3 items (First test was with Type = Character end second test was with type = text) :

Item 1 : OPTION_STRING1 Type : Zabbix Agent (active) Key : OPTION_STRING1 Type : Text Update Interval : 60 History : 7
Item 2 : OPTION_STRING2 Type : Zabbix Agent (active) Key : OPTION_STRING2 Type : Text Update Interval : 60 History : 7
Item 3 : OPTION_STRING3 Type : Zabbix Agent (active) Key : OPTION_STRING3 Type : Text Update Interval : 60 History : 7

Trigger Item 1 : {adm1.xxx.xxx:OPTION_STRING1.str(option)}=1
No Trigger for Item 2.
Trigger Item 3 : {adm1.xxx.xxx:OPTION_STRING3.last(0)}#0


Each time I have in zabbix_agentd log ; the value "ZBX_NOTSUPPORTED" :

19459:20110117:102207.954 In send_buffer('172.17.x.x','10051')

No items are available on zabbix GUI

Any idea will be appreciate.

Have a good day.

Many Thanks.

Bertrand.

[Bertrand39100]

All,

Even If I use Zabbix Agent (active) or Zabbix Agent ; I always get "ZBX_NOTSUPPORTED"

Many Thanks.

Bertrand.

[dima_dm]

UserParameter script always must send data as one string and data always must exist!!!

[Bertrand39100]

Good Afternoon Dima_dm,

Thanks for your usefull information.

I would tell you what I have for the items :

## Parameters
UserParameter=STRING_OPTION1,egrep "option" /test25_logmon/tcsd.conf
UserParameter=STRING_OPTION2,egrep "option" /test25_logmon/tcsd.conf | awk '{print $2}'
UserParameter=STRING_OPTION3,egrep "option" /test25_logmon/tcsd.conf | awk '{print $2}' | wc -l
## End Parameters

in linux box I have :

STRING_OPTION1 : "egrep "option" /test25_logmon/tcsd.conf" =
# of the options available is an "exclusive" session, meaning that the TPM
# option or not. By default, exclusive sessions are not enforced, since this
# Description: This option determines the host platform (host the TCS system
# Description: This option determines all the platform classes supported by the

STRING_OPTION2 : "egrep "option" /test25_logmon/tcsd.conf | awk '{print $2}'" =
of
option
Description:
Description:

STRING_OPTION3 : "egrep "option" /test25_logmon/tcsd.conf | awk '{print $2}' | wc -l" =
4

According what you told me I understand the problem for STRING_OPTION1,STRING_OPTION2

but why I have "ZBX_NOTSUPPORTED" for STRING_OPTION3 ?

What is the better way to analyse log file with linux script over system command, to search string inside and sending to zabbix GUI ?

maybe I don't use the good command or my script is not good ?
Does anyone have some examples to help me solving my issue, please ?

Many Thanks.

[Colttt]

maybe I don't use the good command or my script is not good ?

what do you search?

can you give me an example or the log-file!?

[Bertrand39100]

Hello all,

Please find attached a log file for an application.


Just to tell you, we are hosting many web applications coded in java for hospitals written by an outside supplier.
those web apps are running under either jboss or tomcat.

for example I would cath the following pattern text :

"OutOfMemoryError: GC overhead limit exceeded" and be notified each time this kind of string or others are present in apps logs.

inside the log extraction you have 5 times the upper pattern text I would catch. log size per day are aroud 10 or 20 Mo sometime more.

the aim for me is to catch some special text because inside those log files there are many java exceptions
and many other informations but only special pattern text is usefull for me because in some case it could be nice
to catch the string because we need to restart sometime tomcat of jboss or do manual work.

If there is another way to do that in zabbix, tell me maybe I'm wrong.

Many thanks in advance.

[dima_dm]

You can write script and code all error as value map (Administration-> General-> VALUE MAPPING).
Example
0 OK
1 error_1
2 error_2
3 error_3
etc
Or to use binary masks if some errors can be simultaneously.
0 Ok
1 error_1
2 error_2
4 error_3
8 error_4
16 error_5
And to give result as the sum of codes

[Bertrand39100]

Good Afternoon all,

Thanks for your information, you know I'm not so good at building creating shell scripts
I don't known how to do and integrate with VALUE MAPPING, i will try.


could you please give your lights on that problem ?

because in a first time If I manage to solve my problem of "ZBX_NOTSUPPORTED"
is it a problem of item type, item format ?


on my tests I have defined the following :

On Zabbix server GUI, I have nothing, all items were active and after zabbix_agentd checks items are in state "NOT SUPPORTED" no value at all.

Why with the zabbix_get tool it's working good ; all data are successfully retreived and on the GUI not

Is it a question of items type that is not correctly defined ? What's wrong ?

Many Thanks.

[dima_dm]

My be problem with firewall? You can change type of Item in Zabbix Agent.
Util zabbix_get can check Zabbix Agent Item, but can't check Zabbix Agent (active) Item.
See
http://www.zabbix.com/wiki/doc/tech/...xagentprotocol

The arrow specifies a direction of opening TCP session
Zabbix Agent
server:TCP 10050 <- Zabbix_Server

Zabbix Agent (active)
server -> Zabbix_Server:TCP 10051

[Bertrand39100]

Her ShaDow and all,

Sorry, I really don't speak German (except only very little words and you, do you speak French ? cause I'm a french guy.

According your last mail, between zabbix_agentd client (172.17.x1.x1) and zabbix server (172.17.x1.x2) there are no firewall ;
client and server are on the same network.

I have done 2 tests with zabbix_agent active (first) et zabbix_agent (second) but the result is the same.

To summarize my issue : I don't manage to "catch" text (monitor) inside application log file.
My problem is all tests I do with the "UserParameter" option don't work.

The latest information I provided to you was to show you it's working with the zabbix_get tool in command-line
but inside zabbix GUI I have problem, no information are available.

yes each time I tested I stop/restart zabbix_agentd.

Here below is my latest configuration of zabbix_agentd file :

## Parameters
UserParameter=STRING_OPTION1,egrep "option" /test31_logmon/tcsd.conf
UserParameter=STRING_OPTION2,egrep "option" /test31_logmon/tcsd.conf | awk '{print $2}'

Permission on the file is :

If I don't make any mistake zabbix user should have read access to the file we want to monitor.

here is the permission on the file :

Under Linux command, you can see the results for all egrep command (check information in past threads)

With Zabbix_get tool, all command is OK you can see the result in the latest thread.

please find 2 zabbix_agentd.log (one done with zabbix agent active, second zabbix agent)
with all OPTION_STRING1-5 with "ZBX_UNSUPPORTED"

On Zabbix server before the zabbix_agentd client get the item list I have :
(USERPARAMETER_ITEM_02.jpg) and after

No way to see the result except items are changed to unsupported state for UserParameter items
(USERPARAMETER_ITEM_03.jpg)

How could I have thoses items with no "ZBX_UNSUPPORTED" state ?

Inside zabbix GUI, I have problem :

I'm stuck I don't know how solving the problem I don't know if it's in items parameters
there is something wrong because it's working fine with zabbix_get tool in command line
and in zabbix_agentd.log (Zabbix_Agentd_Log_UserParameter_Resultwith_Zabbix _Agent_Active.txt) :
we can see that shell script extract text correctly but on server side ... issue
or maybe in shell script I should have only one text line instead of several line retreived
but why its 'not working for OPTION_STRING5 that show one number, i don't know
or may something is wrong in my item parameter ?

Hope it was easy to understand sorry for some english mistake


I hope a solution exist for this because I need to monitor many applications log file.

Many Thanks again.

Have a nice day.

You can check simple UserParameter
UserParameter=STRING_OPTION6,echo 1
It is work?
Try to specify a full path for egrep util.

Hi Dima DM,

Sorry for the late answer, I was busy with new storage system installation.

According you told me, I defined because I'm not sure If I should use item with Zabbix agent or Zabbix agent (active) :

Please find below the result in two attached Log files.

I ran two tests ; first has been made with all items with zabbix_agent on the second one with zabbbix_agent (active).

MANY THANKS.

I don't know how to say "Thanks you very much and Many thanks for all" in Russian but

Have a nice day.
