Re: monit ignores match pattern commnad

yeah here are several lines from openvpn-client.log
Sun Apr  6 00:14:39 2014 us=887909 /sbin/ip route add 128.0.0.0/1 via 10.8.0.229
Sun Apr  6 00:14:39 2014 us=890100 /sbin/ip route add 10.8.0.1/32 via 10.8.0.229
Sun Apr  6 00:14:39 2014 us=892228 Initialization Sequence Completed
Sun Apr  6 01:14:37 2014 us=8351 TLS: soft reset sec=0 bytes=151768170/0 pkts=209813/0

'Initialization Sequence Completed' is the pattern I want monit to look for and respond to. I've deleted the line
ignore match "^monit" from monit.conf as per your instruction.

btw, for no reason I can see the the monit.log file has suddenly started showing:
 debug    : monit: Cannot open proc file /proc/4945/stat -- No such file or directory
 debug    : system statistic error -- cannot read /proc/4945/stat
every time I start monit. Do you know why this is?

This is my monit.conf file:

set daemon  60
set logfile /home/share/monit.log
set idfile /var/monit/id
set statefile /var/monit/state
include /etc/monit.d/*
check file openvpn-client.log with path /home/share/openvpn-client.log
     if match "^Initialization Sequence Completed | /home/share/openvpn-client.log"
     then exec "/root/sendemail.sh"

thanks for your further help btw...

Please can you send few sample lines from the logfile to which the pattern should match?

The following line is most probably not necessary, as monit doesn't log to the same file most probably:
ignore match "^monit"

To: This is the general mailing list for monit <address@hidden>


using the example IF [NOT] MATCH {regex|path} THEN action I'm trying to get monit to watch a logfile for a pattern and then trigger a script. The logfile is /home/share/openvpn/log and the relevant test string in the file is 'Initialization Sequence Completed'.
In monitor.conf I have:

check file openvpn-client.log with path /home/share/openvpn-client.log
     ignore match "^monit"
     if match "^Initialization Sequence Completed | /home/share/openvpn-client.log"
     then exec "/root/sendemail.sh"

however in the monit log all I get (every minute) is:
[BST Apr  6 00:05:52] debug    : 'openvpn-client.log' file exists check succeeded
[BST Apr  6 00:05:52] debug    : 'openvpn-client.log' is a regular file
[BST Apr  6 00:06:52] debug    : 'openvpn-client.log' file exists check succeeded
[BST Apr  6 00:06:52] debug    : 'openvpn-client.log' is a regular file
[BST Apr  6 00:07:52] debug    : 'openvpn-client.log' file exists check succeeded
[BST Apr  6 00:07:52] debug    : 'openvpn-client.log' is a regular file
[BST Apr  6 00:08:52] debug    : 'openvpn-client.log' file exists check succeeded
[BST Apr  6 00:08:52] debug    : 'openvpn-client.log' is a regular file
[BST Apr  6 00:09:52] debug    : 'openvpn-client.log' file exists check succeeded
[BST Apr  6 00:09:52] debug    : 'openvpn-client.log' is a regular file
[BST Apr  6 00:10:52] debug    : 'openvpn-client.log' file exists check succeeded
[BST Apr  6 00:10:52] debug    : 'openvpn-client.log' is a regular file

monit is not looking for the pattern. What am I doing wrong?
