The Log File Monitoring metric allows the operator to monitor one or more log files for the occurrence of one or more perl patterns in the content. In addition, the operator can specify a perl pattern to be ignored for the log file. Periodic scanning will be performed against new content added since the last scan, lines matching the ignore pattern will be ignored first, then lines matching specified match patterns will result in one record being uploaded to the repository for each pattern. The user can set a threshold against the number of lines matching the given pattern. File rotation will be handled within the given file.
