Hi,
I have some scripts, such as a backup script, which get executed via cron, and output errors to a log file. There is no process group for these logs. is there a way that I can Dynatrace to monitor these logs. I am using DTSAAS.
Thanks
Mike
Solved! Go to Solution.
What kind of cron jobs are this? If you are running sh/bash scripts you might be out of luck. If you run an java app via cron it would be possible.
Hi Patrick,
Yes bash backup scripts, and hive scripts

I don't think there is a way (yet) to add custom logs for gathering by the OneAgent if there is no Process Group for the Process.
A nifty way to do this, is to use Logstash, with the Log files as Inputs with no Outputs configured, and add the log files to the Logatash process
You can manually add this to any process you want. You can also configure agents to track processes that are not monitored by default.
Thanks Pawel. I thought the process group would need to update the log, for changes to be detected. I will try and manually add the log under the xinetd process.
That's true for automatic log discovery. Manual log mapping is workaround for this.
