[Nagiosplug-devel] question about check_log2.pl

[Willis Ralph]

Thanks for the help.

The extra quotes didn’t help , Nagios still removes the string at the first “|”

Your post made me think and I ended up changing the  $pattern_line before it is sent to Nagios.

my $x = '\|';
        $pattern_line =~ s/$x/*/g;
        print "($pattern_count): $pattern_line";

This code changed the | to a * which solved my problem

Thanks for the help

Regards,
Willis

Hi,

I have been making use of check_log2.pl<http://check_log2.pl>. It works fine. When I ran it from the command line on my Nagios server the output is correct.


/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H server111   -c check_logfiles

This brings back


WARNING: (3): [LOG|ERROR|27 Feb 2013 10:52:36,683|com.example.Bean|Worker-2|-]


The trouble is that the Nagios monitoring screen output in the Status Information field treats the first “| “ as a delimiter and truncates the output  to

[LOG|

Is there a way to make Nagios display the complete line ?


This will be becouse Nagios treats anything after a | in the output of a check as performance data.
You will need to etit the script to work with your data, I think if the output is quoted the | will be ignored, if that does not work try urlencoding it instead.


e.g. In the version of check_log2.pl<http://check_log2.pl>.i have the output line looks like this:

        print "($pattern_count): $pattern_line";

you could try

        print "($pattern_count): \"$pattern_line\"";
