Hi there,

I cannot find a IP-4-DUPADDR message right now, but another message that I would like to alert on is DUAL-5-NBRCHANGE. See below an example sent by a Cisco router with a logging level of "5" (Notice). The network syslog messages are constantly being written to the messages file, and I want to immediately alert on particular messages such as; DUAL-5-NBRCHANGE, IP-4-DUPADDR, etc.

hajwrs02.nls.jlrint.com %DUAL-5-NBRCHANGE: IP-EIGRP 521: Neighbor 10.224.32.45 (GigabitEthernet3/16) is up: new adjacency

Hi all,

I suppose I can use an infinite While loop to do it.
I have a request to alert on the following message types:

DUAL-5-NBRCHANGE
IP-4-DUPADDR
STANDBY-3-DUPADDR

I just need an example script to use to search the messages file for the above message patterns and then email them to the users.

I have tried this script but it's not working:

Code:

while :
do
        tail -f /var/adm/messages | grep RTD-1-ADDR_FLAP | mailx -r Syslog -s "Syslog Address Flaps" <email_address>
done

Regards, Wynford

email::sender::failure

Email::Sender::Failure(3pm)				User Contributed Perl Documentation			       Email::Sender::Failure(3pm)

NAME

       Email::Sender::Failure - a report of failure from an email sending transport

VERSION

       version 0.110005

ATTRIBUTES

   message
       This method returns the failure message, which should describe the failure.  Failures stringify to this message.

   code
       This returns the numeric code of the failure, if any.  This is mostly useful for network protocol transports like SMTP.	This may be
       undefined.

   recipients
       This returns a list (or, in scalar context, an arrayref) of addresses to which the email could not be sent.

METHODS

   throw
       This method can be used to instantiate and throw an Email::Sender::Failure object at once.

	 Email::Sender::Failure->throw(\%arg);

       Instead of a hashref of args, you can pass a single string argument which will be used as the "message" of the new failure.
