Basically you configure it with a series of regex and log files to monitor, and it exports a counter of matching entries in the log. Look in /var/lib/pcp/pmdas/logtail Cheers -- Mark From sgi-pcp@gmane.org Fri Dec 2 12:14:44 2005 Received: with ECARTIS (v1.0.0; list pcp); Fri, 02 Dec 2005 12:14:47 -0800 (PST) Received: from ciao.gmane.org (main.gmane.org [80.91.229.2]) by oss.sgi.com (8.12.10/8.12.10/SuSE Linux 0.7) with ESMTP id jB2KEhO0030687 for ; Fri, 2 Dec 2005 12:14:43 -0800 Received: from list by ciao.gmane.org with local (Exim 4.43) id 1EiHBw-00079H-VP for pcp@oss.sgi.com; Fri, 02 Dec 2005 21:07:37 +0100 Received: from 232.80-202-203.nextgentel.com ([80.202.203.232]) by main.gmane.org with esmtp (Gmexim 0.1 (Debian)) id 1AlnuQ-0007hv-00 for ; Fri, 02 Dec 2005 21:07:36 +0100 Received: from mykleb by 232.80-202-203.nextgentel.com with local (Gmexim 0.1 (Debian)) id 1AlnuQ-0007hv-00 for ; Fri, 02 Dec 2005 21:07:36 +0100 X-Injected-Via-Gmane: http://gmane.org/ To: pcp@oss.sgi.com From: Jan-Frode Myklebust Subject: Re: general log monitor Date: Fri, 2 Dec 2005 21:05:05 +0100 Lines: 12 Message-ID: References: X-Complaints-To: usenet@sea.gmane.org X-Gmane-NNTP-Posting-Host: 232.80-202-203.nextgentel.com User-Agent: slrn/0.9.8.1pl1 (Linux) X-archive-position: 501 X-ecartis-version: Ecartis v1.0.0 Sender: pcp-bounce@oss.sgi.com Errors-to: pcp-bounce@oss.sgi.com X-original-sender: mykleb@no.ibm.com Precedence: bulk X-list: pcp On 2005-12-02, Mark Goodwin wrote: > > You can probably use the 'logtail' PMDA for this.

Great, that sounds like what I want, but unfortunately it doesn't seem to be part of the pcp-2.4.0 distribution. Any idea where I can find it ? -jf From markgw@sgi.com Fri Dec 2 12:24:20 2005 Received: with ECARTIS (v1.0.0; list pcp); Fri, 02 Dec 2005 12:24:26 -0800 (PST) Received: from larry.melbourne.sgi.com (mverd138.asia.info.net [61.14.31.138]) by oss.sgi.com (8.12.10/8.12.10/SuSE Linux 0.7) with SMTP id jB2KOIO0006072 for ; Fri, 2 Dec 2005 12:24:19 -0800 Received: from woolami.melbourne.sgi.com (woolami.melbourne.sgi.com [134.14.55.160]) by larry.melbourne.sgi.com (950413.SGI.8.6.12/950213.SGI.AUTOCF) via ESMTP id HAA04119; Sat, 3 Dec 2005 07:20:42 +1100 Date: Sat, 3 Dec 2005 07:20:42 +1100 (EST) From: Mark Goodwin X-X-Sender: markgw@woolami.melbourne.sgi.com To: Jan-Frode Myklebust cc: pcp@oss.sgi.com Subject: Re: general log monitor In-Reply-To: Message-ID: References: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII X-archive-position: 502 X-ecartis-version: Ecartis v1.0.0 Sender: pcp-bounce@oss.sgi.com Errors-to: pcp-bounce@oss.sgi.com X-original-sender: markgw@sgi.com Precedence: bulk X-list: pcp On Fri, 2 Dec 2005, Jan-Frode Myklebust wrote: > On 2005-12-02, Mark Goodwin wrote: > > > > You can probably use the 'logtail' PMDA for this.

A full list of changes since the last release (which was version 2.4.0-1) is in /usr/share/doc/pcp-2.5.0/CHANGELOG after installation, or on-line at : http://oss.sgi.com/projects/pcp/latest.html For those setting up source-forge projects for "pcp-addons", we ask that you reference the PCP base package from oss.sgi.com rather than mirroring it directly. Please send changes / patches to pcp@oss.sgi.com and cc: markgw@sgi.com for review and inclusion back into the mainline source (markgw@sgi.com is continuing as the maintainer for this). In the download directory there are binary RPMs for i386 (gcc 3.2.x / glibc 2.3.x) and ia64 in the above ftp directory. Other Linux platforms (including those still using glibc 2.96 / glibc 2.x) will need to build binary RPMs from the SRPM, e.g. : # rpmbuild --rebuild pcp-2.5.0-1.src.rpm or from the tarball, e.g. : # tar xvzf pcp-2.5.0-1.src.tar.gz # cd pcp-2.5.0 # ./Makepkgs Non-linux platforms need to build the source and then manually install, e.g. : # tar xvzf pcp-2.5.0-1.src.tar.gz # cd pcp-2.5.0 # make # make install About Performance Co-Pilot (PCP) PCP is an extensible system monitoring package with a client/server architecture. It provides a distributed unifying abstraction for all interesting performance statistics in /proc and assorted applications (e.g. Apache). The PCP library APIs are robust and well documented, supporting rapid deployment of new and diverse sources of performance data and the development of sophisticated performance monitoring tools. The PCP homepage is at http://oss.sgi.com/projects/pcp and you can join the PCP mailing list via http://oss.sgi.com/projects/pcp/mail.html SGI would like to thank those who contributed to this and earlier releases.
