LOGFILE CONFIGURATION ENTRIES
A logfile configuration entry looks like this:
log:/var/log/messages:10240The log:FILENAME:SIZE line defines the filename of the log, and the maximum amount of data (in bytes) to send to the Xymon server.
what is the MAX SIZE value possible - iow constrained by what ?
logfetch monitors the bottom X chunk of the file - true or false ?
if I get output like below - what can I conclude?
[msgs:/var/log/rmsupload.log] <...SKIPPED...> SIZE being set to 31856 200 SITE command was accepted local: /ftpstage/rms/rmsupload17896.t remote: 'tran.rmsrpt32(+1)' 227 Entering Passive Mode (161,195,160,202,88,21) 125 Storing data set TRAN.RMSRPT32.G0008V00
<...SKIPPED...> I had more data than could fit in the chunk? iow I may have missed interesting stuff!
SIZE being set to 31856
means what? how is this value decided?
Thanks!
