This project presents the Linux Bash-script wrapper for the Monitis Open API. As sample, the selective monitor of textual log-files is developed. This project is based on Bash 4.x and require the Linux kernel 2.6.x or higher.

Customizing and Usage To use existing scripts you need to do some changes that will correspond your account and data

• in monitis_constant.sh replace ApiKey and SecretKey by your keys values (can be obtained from your Monitis account)
• in monitor_constant.sh o - replace MONITOR_NAME, MONITOR_TAG and MONITOR_TYPE by your desired names o - replace RESULT_PARAMS and ADDITIONAL_PARAMS strings by data formats definition of your monitor o - replace LOG_FILE by any other desired textual log file path(must exist) o - replace ERR_FILE by any temporary file path (it will be created by script) o - define your desired pattern (replace PATTERN value that is currently defined as "error|warning|serious"). It is used to dynamic filtering of log file records. (patterns should be defined in conform to format of "Linux grep tool") That's all. Now you can click on start.sh to run your custom log-file monitor.
