Problems with logwatch
-
Hi
Hopefully someone can help me understand what is going wrong.
I'm trying to monitor a log file for changes using logwatch.
The logfile is one i'm creating using dos rasdial to connect to a vpn and do certain tests, so log format is:
14-12-2009 13:05:00,19 Connecting to BDO PPTP... Verifying username and password... Registering your computer on the network... Successfully connected to BDO PPTP. Command completed successfully. Pinging 10.1.25.1 with 32 bytes of data: Request timed out. Reply from 10.1.25.1: bytes=32 time=90ms TTL=128 Reply from 10.1.25.1: bytes=32 time=34ms TTL=128 Reply from 10.1.25.1: bytes=32 time=34ms TTL=128 Ping statistics for 10.1.25.1: Packets: Sent = 4, Received = 3, Lost = 1 (25% loss), Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds: Minimum = 34ms, Maximum = 90ms, Average = 52ms Pinging 10.1.1.1 with 32 bytes of data: Request timed out. Reply from 10.1.1.1: bytes=32 time=34ms TTL=63 Reply from 10.1.1.1: bytes=32 time=34ms TTL=63 Reply from 10.1.1.1: bytes=32 time=34ms TTL=63 Ping statistics for 10.1.1.1: Packets: Sent = 4, Received = 3, Lost = 1 (25% loss), Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds: Minimum = 34ms, Maximum = 34ms, Average = 34ms Command completed successfully.then i'm using logwatch and try to look for changes, but so far all i can catch is the ping failure, maybe my regex code is wrong?
