    how to monitor the oracle alertlog in xml format, log.xml

    Since the log monitoring is a bit buggy and giving unreliable results when using the plain text file (alert_{ORACLE_SID}.log), now I am trying to divert to the newer xml format files, where a parseable timestamp is present.

    The layout is:
    Code:
    </msg>
    <msg time='2016-01-06T12:09:41.974+01:00' org_id='oracle' comp_id='rdbms'
     msg_id='kspdmp:18102:4222364190' type='NOTIFICATION' group='startup'
     level='16' host_id='CBR-PARC-002'
     host_addr='192.168.12.13'
     pid='24094'>
     <txt>ORACLE_HOME = /u01/app/oracle/product/12.1.0.2/dbhome_se2
     </txt>
    </msg>
    ...
    ...
    <msg time='2016-01-12T12:21:14.151+01:00' org_id='oracle' comp_id='rdbms'
     type='UNKNOWN' level='16' host_id='CBR-PARC-002'
     host_addr='192.168.12.13' pid='24094'>
     <txt>  Current log# 1 seq# 5146 mem# 1: +RECO/CPARC02/ONLINELOG/group_1.259.897830963
     </txt>
    </msg>
    I see that when I have no filter on the log item, all lines are read in and the timestamp is entered in the localtime column in zabbix but only for the line with '<msg time='. How can I refer to this localtime in triggers where I want to see if a certain error message like 'ORA-012345' popped up in the last hour (localtime).

    Or, is there a way to fill the localtime based on the last value found in the stream?
