Attempting to index a apache logs directory

jslocomb — Tue, 16 Nov 2010 05:50:48 GMT

I am attempting to index a apache logs directory.

We use cronolog to split our apache log files We have a sub directory rotate_logs that have historical logs in GZ format.

I want to only index the error log files in /etc/httpd/logs and not the access logs or any time from subdirectories.

It would help to have your current settings and parameters used for this input.

directory structure and exact filenames desired would help too

Sounds like you want a blacklist on the filename. You can also turn off recursion if you don't want to descend into subdirectories.

For example:

[monitor:///etc/httpd/logs]
recursive = false
blacklist = \.gz$
