To meet your requirements for monitoring the FSE event log file, adjust the parameters in the loganalyzer.config general configuration file and set the analysis rules in the loganalyzerrules.py rules configuration file.

Similarly, to meet your requirements for monitoring the Linux system event log file, adjust the parameters in the loganalyzer_messages.config general configuration file and set the analysis rules in the loganalyzerrules_messages.py rules configuration file.

For more information on adjusting the general configuration file, see section ”The general configuration file” on page 198. For more information on setting the analysis rules in the rules configuration file, see section ”The rules configuration file” on page 204.

Windows specific

The configuration data is specified in two configuration files:

•The general configuration file (LogAnalyzer.config), containing general, mailing, and SNMP related configuration.

•The rules configuration file (LogAnalyzerRules.py), containing the log analysis configuration.

To meet your requirements for monitoring of the FSE event log file

(%InstallPath%\var\log\fse.log), adjust the parameters in the general configuration file (LogAnalyzer.config) and set the analysis rules in the rules configuration file

(LogAnalyzerRules.py).

See ”The general configuration file” on page 198 for more information on adjusting the general configuration file and the ”The rules configuration file” on page 204 for more information on setting the analysis rules in the rules configuration file.

The general configuration file

General configuration files reside in the directory /etc/opt/fse (on Linux systems) or in the directory %InstallPath%\etc (on Windows systems). They contain the following information:

•Log Analyzer related information, such as time interval for checking new entries in the log file, whether the debugging information is displayed or not, whether to analyze a log file from the beginning or from the end, the rules configuration file location, the temporary files location, and the Log Analyzer log files location.

•E-mail related information, such as the name of the SMTP server, SMTP authentication, text to be send in e-mails, e-mail subject and subject prefix, sender and recipient information, attachment prefix, whether the attachment is compressed or not, and the time interval within which the packages are to be sent or dumped to files.

•SNMP related information, such as SNMP management unit IP, SNMP community name, and SNMP sender ID.

The following is an example of the general configuration file:
