Log File Monitoring

There are several ways to monitor log files of different applications for errors and warnings:

• Logs located on Iotellect Server machine may be monitored using Local File monitoring driver.
• Log files located on remote machines may be accessed by SMB/CIFS driver by mounting remote folders to the local filesystem via operating system facilities (Map Network Drive function on Microsoft Windows; NFS or Samba on Linux).
• Remote logs can be checked for errors by a custom shell script that is periodically executed via SSH. Example of such script is grep error_text /var/log/some_log_file.log | tail -n1.
