Log Script
Hello,

I am running running a file that I created to tail our log, stripping out some key words to avoid noise.
I want to script this vs using something bellow, something simple were I could populater a txt file and it would filter content from that text file
my other idea was to add a section on that file were if certain words were seen in the tail it would mailx the alert

I do not claim to be a scripting person but any ideas would be great Smilie

here is my 1.sh file Smilie

Code:
clear
echo "Monitoring ..."
tail -f /var/log/ncolog | egrep -vi "banner content|message repeated|archive_command.sh|cron|CELFSS|DEBUG1 cleanupThread|Log statistics|nexthop|TLD|AMOS|SQL"

So just for clarification, you want to call a file you're creating with certain key words instead of calling your whole egrep?

So instead of

Code:
 
egrep -vi "banner content|message repeated|archive_command.sh|cron|CELFSS|DEBUG1 cleanupThread|Log statistics|nexthop|TLD|AMOS|SQL"

You want to call a static file so you can just edit the file and search based on the keywords in the file?

'man grep' yields:
Code:
     -f pattern_file
           Reads one or more patterns from the file named by  the
           path  name  pattern_file. Patterns in pattern_file are
           terminated by a NEWLINE character. A null pattern  can
           be  specified by an empty line in pattern_file. Unless
           the -E or -F option is also specified, each pattern is
           treated as a basic regular expression.

Sort of actually the reverse, I am tailing the log and those are key words I do not want to see
I am filtering them out of the tail.
