This is hyperic 4.2.0 - using the server's sun java 1.6.0_018
I am attempting to monitor the file /opt/jboss/logs/server.log
The agent is running as user hyperic and user hyperic is able to read the log.
The log contains some binary characters (some encrypted content appears).
I have set up the server with log tracking enabled.
server.log_track.level is Debug
server.log_track.include is /.*/ (I have also tried m/*./ )
server.log_track.files is /opt/jboss/logs/server.log
It is active.
I can't see anything anywhere in either the hq.server, its server.log or in the agent.log on the monitored box.
Setting an alert on the log with events/logs level = Any and a substring match set explicitly I enter that substring in the log.
Nothing.
Except for the fact that the agent is reporting all the other things involved back to the server, I'd think that they are disconnected. The agent log shows the loading of two log_tracking plugins I have created (one is for the separate jboss thread created for the Bonita EAR). Both read the server.log, Neither report a thing.
Which argues that I am doing something fairly simple wrong.
BTW... there are a fair few ways to think about entering a regex in a text box... I do not know what I need to put into that box. All well and good to show me the class def for reg-ex but the rules for entering it in that box? No way to know those as the documents stop short of even the simplest example.
respectfully
