Structured Log File Policies (Events, Metrics, and Generic Output)

This policy type reads entries in a log file and matches the desired text against the log file structure fields defined by using the OM pattern-matching language. When the policy finds a match and certain conditions apply, the policy responds by sending event, metrics, or generic output data to OMi. You can define the details of the data sent to OMi based on information in the log file.

Note: You must have the format and syntax of the log file that the policy reads. You must define a log file structure to match on the entries in the log file that contain the data you want to read and forward to OMi. For examples of how the log file structure is defined, see Defining a log file structure by using OM pattern-matching language.
