search in a folder

[Genesis]

Hello,

I have 1 log folder.
In this Folder I want that the Hostmonitor looks in every log file. But the log files have different Filenames like xx_xx_xx_001.log or yy_003.log
Can the Hostmonitor check all log files in this Folder and search for a sting (error, failed…)?
And if he find a string can he send me an E-Mail with the log file as attachment?

Hostmonitor version 6.54

Thanks

Regards

Single Text Log or Compare Files test item may check just 1 file. Are you sure you need to check all files? May be you need to check just newest file?

Yes I must check all files in this folder. Every day at 19:00 o'clock the contents are emptied. One day there is only 1 log in it but the next day these can maybe 20 log files and another there is no one in the Folder it’s not regular.

Thanks

Then you need to create script that will check files one by one and use Shell Script test method to run the script
http://www.ks-soft.net/hostmon.eng/mfra ... m#chkShell

Something like
====================
@echo off
for %%i in (c:\targetfolder\*.log) do (
find /c "searchstring" %%i
if not errorlevel 1 (
echo scriptres:Bad:%%i
exit
)
)
====================

Script returns name of the file that contains specified string (1st of such files) so you may use %Reply% variable as parameter of the action to show name of the file.
