Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Log search and mail it if the log is updated before 24 hours from the current time Post 302830961 by gacanepa on Wednesday 10th of July 2013 12:05:45 AM

Well, this is what I would do:
Quote:
1) We use only TAIL -100 <location and name of the log> Command to check the logs.
Create a plain text file (name it mylogs, for example) with the absolute path to each log, 1 per line, i.e.,
Code:
/var/log/mail.log
/var/log/some.log
.
.
.
/var/log/some_other.log

Then in my script I'd do this (hasn't been tested, but you can tweak it a little in order to suit your needs):
Code:
#!/bin/bash
mailcontents=mailbody
while read line
do
    last_mod_time=$(stat -c '%Y' $line) # this line checks the log's last modification time and converts it to Unix's epoch
    last_24_hours=$(date +%s -d "24 hours ago") # this line returns the epoch for the current timestamp minus 24 hours

    if [ $last_mod_time -lt $last_24_hours ]; then
        echo "Log $line has NOT been updated in the last 24 hours" >> $mailcontents
        echo "============" >> $mailcontents
    else
        echo "Log $line was updated during the last 24 hours" >> $mailcontents
        echo "============" >> $mailcontents
    fi
    
    tail -100 $line > checklog

    error=$(cat checklog | grep ERROR | wc -l)
    if [ $error -gt 0 ]; then
        echo "ERROR found in log $line" >> $mailcontents
    fi

done < mylogs

if [ -s $mailcontents ]; then
    mail -s "Log errors and last modification times" youremail@yourdomain.com < $mailcontents
fi

rm $mailcontents checklog

Hope it helps Smilie.

NAME
wbemlogviewer - start WBEM Log Viewer SYNOPSIS
/usr/sadm/bin/wbemlogviewer The wbemlogviewer utility starts the WBEM Log Viewer graphical user interface, which enables administrators to view and maintain log records created by WBEM clients and providers. The WBEM Log Viewer displays a Login dialog box. You must log in as root or a user with write access to the rootcimv2 namespace to view and maintain log files. Namespaces are described in wbemadmin(1M). Log events can have three severity levels. o Errors o Warnings o Informational The WBEM log file is created in the /var/sadm/wbem/log directory, with the name wbem_log. The first time the log file is backed up, it is renamed wbem_log.1, and a new wbem_log file is created. Each succeeding time the wbem_log file is backed up, the file extension number of each backup log file is increased by 1, and the oldest backup log file is removed if the limit, which in turn is specified in the log ser- vice settings, on the number of logfiles is exceeded. Older backup files have higher file extension numbers than more recent backup files. The log file is renamed with a .1 file extension and saved when one of the following two conditions occur: o The current file reaches the specified file size limit. o A WBEM client application uses the clearLog() method in the Solaris_LogService class to clear the current log file. o A WBEM client application uses the clearLog() method in the Solaris_LogService class to clear the current log file. o A user chooses Action->Back Up Now in the Log Viewer application. Help is displayed in the left panel of each dialog box. Context help is not displayed in the main Log Viewer window. The WBEM Log Viewer is not the tool for a distributed environment. It is used for local administration. The WBEM Log Viewer allows you to perform the following tasks: View the logs Set properties of log fiClick Action->Log File Settings to specify log file parameters and the log file directory. Back up a log file Click Action->Back Up Now to back up and close the current log file and start a new log file. Open historical log fileClick Action->Open Log File to open a backed-up log file. Delete an old log file Open the file and then click Action->Delete Log File. You can only delete backed-up log files. View log record details Double-click a log entry or click View->Log Entry Details to display the details of a log record. Sort the logs Click View->Sort By to sort displayed entries. You can also click any column heading to sort the list. By default, the log entries are displayed in reverse chronological order (new logs first). EXIT STATUS
The wbemlogviewer utility terminates with exit status 0. /var/sadm/wbem/log/wbem_log WBEM log file See attributes(5) for descriptions of the following attributes: +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+ | ATTRIBUTE TYPE | ATTRIBUTE VALUE | +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+ |Availability |SUNWwbcor | +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+ wbemadmin(1M), init.wbem(1M), mofcomp(1M), attributes(5) 3 Jan 2000 wbemlogviewer(1M)
