problems with variables on Logmon probe

[davidms]

Hi 

I have a problem monitoring some strings with logmon probe, we need monitoring the dicovery_server.log and that nimsoft sends alarms when on the log shows error string, but we need that the alarm contein all the line where is the match the string error, we can see alarms when on the log there are error string but the alarm not shows all the line using the ${WatcherMatchedLine} variable, we see the logmon probe documenta, and it says that this variable should send all the line.

Could you help us please?

Best regard.

Hi,

what about to use regex  as Matchin Expression and put $1 in a variable?

/(.*error.*)/ as Matching Expression
Then define a variable with a name you like (e.g. log_line) and set RegEx to 1.
Then you can use ${log_line} in "Message to Send on Match" expression.

Regards,
Olaf

Also I believe logmon variables are case sensitive. Notice your $PROFILE is all caps so try $WATCHERMATCHEDLINE. Is is written in the docs like this too.
