   3 # Log file pattern detector plugin for Nagios
   4 # Written by Ethan Galstad (nagios@nagios.org)
   5 # Last Modified: 07-31-1999
   6 #
   7 # Usage: ./check_log <log_file> <old_log_file> <pattern>
   8 #
   9 # Description:
  10 #
  11 # This plugin will scan a log file (specified by the <log_file> option)
  12 # for a specific pattern (specified by the <pattern> option).  Successive
  13 # calls to the plugin script will only report *new* pattern matches in the
  14 # log file, since an copy of the log file from the previous run is saved
  15 # to <old_log_file>.
  16 #
  17 # Output:
  18 #
  19 # On the first run of the plugin, it will return an OK state with a message
  20 # of "Log check data initialized".  On successive runs, it will return an OK
  21 # state if *no* pattern matches have been found in the *difference* between the
  22 # log file and the older copy of the log file.  If the plugin detects any
  23 # pattern matches in the log diff, it will return a CRITICAL state and print
  24 # out a message is the following format: "(x) last_match", where "x" is the
  25 # total number of pattern matches found in the file and "last_match" is the
  26 # last entry in the log file which matches the pattern.
  27 #
  28 # Notes:
  29 #
  30 # If you use this plugin make sure to keep the following in mind:
  31 #
  32 #    1.  The "max_attempts" value for the service should be 1, as this
  33 #        will prevent Nagios from retrying the service check (the
  34 #        next time the check is run it will not produce the same results).
  35 #
  36 #    2.  The "notify_recovery" value for the service should be 0, so that
  37 #        Nagios does not notify you of "recoveries" for the check.  Since
  38 #        pattern matches in the log file will only be reported once and not
  39 #        the next time, there will always be "recoveries" for the service, even
  40 #        though recoveries really don't apply to this type of check.
  41 #
  42 #    3.  You *must* supply a different <old_file_log> for each service that
  43 #        you define to use this plugin script - even if the different services
  44 #        check the same <log_file> for pattern matches.  This is necessary
  45 #        because of the way the script operates.
  46 #
  47 # Examples:
  48 #
  49 # Check for login failures in the syslog...
  50 #
  51 #   check_log /var/log/messages ./check_log.badlogins.old "LOGIN FAILURE"
  52 #
  53 # Check for port scan alerts generated by Psionic's PortSentry software...
  54 #
  55 #   check_log /var/log/message ./check_log.portscan.old "attackalert"
  56 #
  57
  58 # Paths to commands used in this script.  These
  59 # may have to be modified to match your system setup.
  60 # TV: removed PATH restriction. Need to think more about what this means overall
