Hi All,
I need some assistance in how to go about creating a alert that will email when there is a change to a statistic value in a log parser file. Currently I have a log file that is being monitored for the keyword "heartbeat" this file is updated every minute but I noticed that when I had an actually outage the application monitor didn't go into a critical state. I found the reason this occurred is because the "number of newly found strings" was flat lining and therefore never hit the threshold of a zero to trigger the alert.
I'm looking for a solution that will monitor the log file for the keyword "heartbeat" if the static value doesn't change from it's current value to a new one. This would mean that something went down with the application and send out an email. The log file is achieved at midnight each day so the static value goes back to zero and the counter is reset daily.
I'm wondering if anyone has come across a similar issue in the past?
Thanks,
Jas
