[Xymon] Log/file monitoring based on occurrence?

[Galen Johnson]

yes...you should be able to do this natively.  Lok at the analysis.cfg man page for xymon.

Subject: [Xymon] Log/file monitoring based on occurrence?

I've got a situation at work where we're being tasked with monitoring
failed logins. We've got logging and audit file creation in place...what
I'm looking for is whether or not there's a way to have Xymon monitor
those logs/files to look for X entries/occurrences within Y amount of
time.

The requirement is to try to do as much as this programatically as
possible without having to resort to scripting or other measures that may
be easily countered by a system admin.

Thanks.
