Log files in windows - space in the name of the folder

[macwadu]

I'm adding this item
log[C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\Reporting Services\LogFiles\ReportServerService__11_25_2010_ 00_04_41.log,"ERROR","UTF-8",50]

and is not colecting data can it be because of the spaces in the name of the folders

How can i do to pass the spaces????

[richlv]

hmm. i asked you on irc, but you didn't respond... you have doublequoted all values except the path. why so ? did you try doublequoting that as well ?

[macwadu]

Sorry i didnt see your response, but i have tried that and didn't work out.


Do you what can i do more?

[richlv]

what exactly is happening ? try removing all other arguments except file path - does it gather values then ?

[macwadu]

I put the file ReportServerService__11_25_2010_ 00_04_41.log in c:\ and it collected data.

log[c:\ReportServerService__11_25_2010_00_04_41.log,"E RROR",,100]

but in the full path it doesn't work

In the agent it says:


We are in the Windows directory reading cycle.
4172:20101129:122804.497 Cannot process read entry [c:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSRS10.MSSQLSERVER\Reporting Services\LogFiles\.].

I'm using this regex ReportServerService__[0-9]*_[0-9]*_[0-9]*_[0-9]*_[0-9]*_[0-9]*.log

can it be because of the regex?

[richlv]

i might be mistaken, but it seems to find the logfile just fine. can zabbix agent read that file ?

[macwadu]

i think i have found the problem...

i created 2 file .log with a name on it one with the encoding utf-8 and another with UCS-2 Little Endian

and with the log item it reads fine with utf-8 but with UCS-2 Little Endian it doesnt read

so i think tha problen is that zabbix cant read files with that encoding

Do you know somenthing about this issue?

[richlv]

see the encoding option - maybe that helps

[macwadu]

But you know that if zabbix has any problem read log files in the enconding UCS-2 Little Endian ?

[richlv]

no idea. if it's supported by the underlying platform, i'd expect it to work

[macwadu]

I'm working with zabbix agent for windows and log file is written in UCS-2 Little Endian and the agent doesn't read the log file

but if it is in utf-8 is reads without any problem


So what can i do to read a file with encoding of UCS-2 Little Endian?

[richlv]

but did you try specifying encoding as suggested before ?

[macwadu]

I dont understand what you want with specifying encoding?

If i can change the encondig of the file?

[macwadu]

GoogleShopper the problem is this:
