Re: [opennms-devel] Turn log entires to OpenNMS events

No replies yet...Let me be more specific then: I already have the event log file log file and the file is on the same server as I have ONMS installed and the entries are in syslogd format. 
 
All I need to do for now, is to find a way to have OpenNMS watch that file and when a new event is added (that OpenNMS recognizes) to that file, OpenNMS processes it as an event. OpenNMS is installed in /opt/opennms directory and the log file is on the same machine but on a different location: /opt/logs
 
Can someone please help me? 
 
Thanks in advance

Hi all,I have some subsystems installed on a CentOS 5.2 machine which generate and add log entries to a file called output.log which is located on the same box where I have my OpenNMS installed. Each line of entry has three values.Now I would like to turn these log entries into events and configure OpenNMS to watch this log file and pick them up as events. So far, I learned this will be known as exernal event and I should somehow create a XML file in /opt/opennms/etc/events directory (i.e. Output.xml) and add it to the eventconf.xml file as an include file: <event-file>events/Output.xml</event-file> but I'm not sure how to do this... Can someone please help me with this?Thanks in advance
