analyze log fle from start

[Fred V]

Hi,

I'm a new Zabbix user, is it possible to always read the log file from start. I have a log file which keeps track of the connection status from several devices. If the connection status of a device changes the line which contains the device is updated.

Example

Device - IP address - Status - Firmware
Device1 - 10.1.1.1 - Connected - 1.03
Device2 - 10.1.1.2 - Connected - 1.03

log and logrt items are intended to read from the end and only the added part. But you can use vfs.file.contents to pull whole file and then you can do whatever with that...

vfs.file.contents[file,<encoding>]
Retrieving contents of a file.	Text	file - full path to file encoding - code page identifier	Returns an empty string if the file is empty or contains LF/CR characters only. The return value is limited to 16MB (including trailing whitespace that is truncated); database limits also apply. Byte order mark (BOM) is excluded from the output. Example: => vfs.file.contents[/etc/passwd]
