Alert based off of string in log file

Question

Hi All,

I have some custom applications that generate log files that I would alert on based a string I find a "grep" or "find" command.  For example:

Say I want to alert if I find the string "error 23" in the log file.  Is that possible with NPM?

Thanks
Mike

I'm pretty sure this isn't possible with NPM but instead requires APM. You could then use something like the File Text Monitoring APM template to accomplish this.

HI NPM--

I'm going to move this to the Alert lab where it will get more traction.
