Hi,
I have put a file check using the community plugin.
[https://github.com/sensu/sensu-community-plugins/tree/master/plugins/files](https://github.com/sensu/sensu-community-plugins/tree/master/plugins/files)
It works fine when I execute it manually on the agent machine but doesn’t execute via the sensu monitor. I get an error stating file not found. I’m I missing something?
{
“checks”: {
“check\_webserver\_log”: {
“handlers”: [“default”],
“command”: “/opt/sensu/embedded/bin/ruby /etc/sensu/plugins/check-tail.rb -f /home/ec2-user/server.log -p Error”,
“interval”: 60,
“subscribers”: [“webservers”]
}
}
}
Also this plugin doesn’t support searching a pattern anywhere in the file. I only searches for the starting of the string. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Mani

The plugin should support matching any pattern in the \*last\* line of the file:

Can you paste the error message you are getting verbatim? And what is
giving that error message? (which sensu log)

There are no errors in monitor or in agent. I see below error in Uchiwa GUI.
output
Tail CRITICAL: File not found
Also I changed the check script to match the pattern in the last 100 lines. Here is the updated script.
/opt/sensu/embedded/bin/ruby /etc/sensu/plugins/check-tail.rb -f /home/ec2-user/\server.log -P Error -l 1000

I am puzzled.

Figured out the problem, it was to do with folder permission.

I think Sensu comes from the Japanese name for a folding fan made from bamboo and paper, which represent the Fanout exchange concept utilized by the AMQP (protocol). The Sensu framework provides foundation for monitoring cloud infrastructure and applications. Fully extensible via source code, with active community.
