Hi,
We are monitoring some application log files with logmon and as those files are growing, I would like to rename them and restart with an empty file (note the log file name is fixed and does not contain date/time). For the main application we have a single log file and multiple processes that can update it.
I've just performed this test with a watcher that gets all lines from a file called test.log and send alarms (no filter, update mode):
- write alarm1 into test.log
- write alarm2
--> logmon check1: received alarm1 and alarm2
- write alarm3
- write alarm4
==> rename test.log to test.old
- write alarm5 into the newly created test.log file
--> logmon check2 (1min after check1): alarm5 received but alarm 3 and 4 lost which is logical but not acceptable.
I was thinking of a synchronisation procedure with AO profile and scripts but I would really appreciate ideas to prevent from this alarm loss in a simple manner.
Thanks for your help.
