Log file monitoring
I have a question about log file monitoring. I have a file that i am
expecting to see the word "SIP" and if it is not there then I would
want to be paged and have it go red. But the only thing I can find is
to have it MATCH a certain phrase.

Can you explain the difference between "expecting to see" and "have it MATCH"? Thanks, Steve

Reading Joshua's post it seems he wants to be alerted if the file DOES NOT contain the word "SIP" - an inverse match. The help does say that regex's are supported, but I don't know if that includes the not operator.

Right. I missed the 'not'. Steve.

My concern is when I stop seeing the word "SIP" then I have a problem.
So I need Hobbit to go red when the word "SIP" isn't seen.
