op5 Monitor to op5 LogServer integration

 
 
Introduction You can use op5 Monitor to query op5 LogServer on how many matches a filter return and then throw OK|WARNNG|CRITICAL values depending on the information returned.

You can also get a url in your Monitor window that points to the op5 LogServer with the current filter checked.
 
 
Prerequisites Before you begin you need to have op5 Monitor and op5 LogServer configured and up and running.
  • op5 Monitor
    • Updated to latest release
  • op5 LogServer
    • Updated to latest release
    • A user created with access to the filters you will use
    • One or more working filters

    Note: Avoid spaces in your filtername.
 
 
Monitor check-commands Add the required check-commands, if they don't already exist in your configuration. ('Configure' -> 'Check Commands' -> 'New command'):
command_name command_line
check_logserver_filter $USER1$/check_ls_log -r <logserverhost> -l <user> -p <password> -f "$ARG1$" -i 10 -w $ARG2$ -c $ARG3$
