    <title>topic How do I read just one file in a app? in Getting Data In</title>

    <description>&lt;P&gt;I want to be able to push down a single application which contains an inputs.conf to monitor files on a Oracle RAC system.    &lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;There are three nodes and each system should just read its own file, however the issue is they are on a shared filesystem.  Each node is active in this type of cluster.   The application would look something like -&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;PRE&gt;&lt;CODE&gt; [monitor:///temp/log/abc1/alert_abc1.log]
 ...

 [monitor:///temp/log/abc2/alert_abc2.log]
 ...

 [monitor:///temp/log/abc3/alert_abc3.log]
 ....
&lt;/CODE&gt;&lt;/PRE&gt;

&lt;P&gt;Ideally I would want to have a whitelist = specific hostname on each stanza, similar to the syntax in serverclass.conf.  It would look something like&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;PRE&gt;&lt;CODE&gt; [monitor:///temp/log/abc1/alert_abc1.log]
 whitelist.0 = node1*
 ...

 [monitor:///temp/log/abc2/alert_abc2.log
 whitelist.0 = node2*
 ...

 [monitor:///temp/log/abc3/alert_abc3.log]
 whitelist.0= node3*
 ....
&lt;/CODE&gt;&lt;/PRE&gt;

&lt;P&gt;I realize I could push three separate apps, but that will become a maintenance nightmare down the road.&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;Thanks for any ideas.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;If it is on a shared filesystem, why not set up one machine to read all three files, or even set up a dedicated forwarder to monitor the shared file system?&lt;/P&gt;</description>
