I am configured Zabbix to monitor my Jboss Server logs for Erros and exclude some know errors. This setup is working with one issue. Zabbix will send me alerts when there is a new "ERROR" entry in the log file. But sometimes I get multiple alerts for the same event. For example, I got 5 alerts with the same time stamp "2012-06-25 07:55:56,864 ERROR". The duplicate alerts count is not constant, sometimes I get 2 sometimes 5 or 11.
I checked the Monitoring > Latest data in the GUI, and found that there is no duplicate entries.
I have given my configuration of the log monitoring below. I am using latest version of zabbix server(2.0)
Item configuration:
- Description: Server Error Monitoring.
- Key:
log["/SERVER/jboss/jboss-5/server/ps/log/server.log","ERROR",UTF-8,200,skip]
- Type: Zabbix Agent (Active)
- Type of information: Log
- Interval :30
Trigger configuration:
- Description: Found Error in Server Log.
- Expression:
(({SERVER Error Monitoring - PS:log["/SERVER/jboss/jboss-5/server/ps/log/server.log","ERROR",UTF-8,200,skip].regexp("can not execute")})=0) & (({SERVER Error Monitoring - PS:log["/SERVER/jboss/jboss-5/server/ps/log/server.log","ERROR",UTF-8,200,skip].regexp("Unexpected redirect")})=0)
- Event generation: Normal + Multiple TRUE events
Action configuration:
- Name: alert mail
- Event source: Trigger
- Enable escalations: Uncheck
- Default subject/message: Default
- Recovery message: Uncheck
- Action conditions: Trigger value = PROBLEM
- Action operations: Send message to User "Admin"
Please help me fixing this issue.
