Weight in Log file analysis

[ploeger]

HI there!

Please give or point me to any source of information regarding the analysis of log files using Zabbix 1.1. I've set up the analysis of /var/log/syslog using the documentation. That worked quite well.

Now, I'd like to set the parameters for the "severity"-column. How do I do this? I've set up a trigger using

{localhost:log[/var/log/syslog].str(test)}=1

and set the trigger-severity to "warning". So it should trigger a warning, when the string "test" comes up in the log.

But this doesn't happen. And the severity-column in the log file analysis page shows "undefined".

Is there any kind of documentation about this feature?

Kind regards,
Dennis

The severity column is used for Windows event logs only. As for the str() function it supposed to work for log files.
