Hi,
First off let me tell you what a great project this is.. I hope to contribute a number of modules very soon...
I work in a financial industry and have (will continue to) write a number of hobbit external tests for systems we monitor. Murex/LatentZero/CharlesRiver to name a few (all trading systems). Would it be benefical to contribute the tests to the project over the coming months? There is a distinct lack of Business-orientated external tests provided by any monitoring system at the moment.. Just a thought...
My real question is as follows: (It may be slightly OTT)
I use the bbwin client on our windows hosts. We have log files (Propriety format) outside of the event log mechanism which I need to parse for defined strings. I would like to know what people use for parsing these text files. I can write something in perl if needs be but I don't want to reinvent the wheel. Can the messages module in bbwin parse external log files?
I can't seem to find any information about this...
Any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated...
Thanks, Padraig
