Hi, we would like to check logfiles on a Linux server for keywords (like error). Are there possibilities for this or has someone already written a script for this?

Thanks in advance.

With best regards, Dennis Hartmann

Hello,

Thank you for your message.

If the log files are available via the network (with Samba for example) then you can use the File Content sensor to monitor them. Otherwise, you can effectively execute a script with one of the SSH Script sensor :

If you have further questions, let us know.

Kind regards.
