Log Monitoring
Hello I am new to Zabbix Monitoring and I am running into roubles with getting zabbix to monitor the /var/log/messages log file and looking a specific keywords than trigger when those keywords are outputted into the log file. Zabbix than triggers than send an email. But everytime I cannot seem to get the trigger to display in the action logs, audits, problems or Dashboard However when I look at the Availability report is show there but when I click show it displays a bar graph. So I am not sure if I have done this correctly or not
But here are my step I have done below
going based off the documentation
1. Create item
Name: /var/log/messages (Test)
Key: log[/var/log/messages]
application: Logs
done
2. Create Trigger
Name: Check Systemd output (Test)
Expression: {cwp.itpro.local:log[/var/log/messages].regexp(systemd)}>0
done
So what I am doing here from what I been reading.
I am setting the key for the item to /var/log/messages than telling Zabbix if systemd is outputted in /var/log/messages and then number of time this is outputted is greater than 0 than alarm.
Now I am just guessing that this is what it is doing.
Its ok to tell me I am completely off lol
I am just trying to learn here. And correctly this issues I am having after troubleshooting for 3 hours.
