HP Operations Manager for Windows

Log file preprocessing    


Use this option if the original log file needs to be reformatted before monitoring begins. If you specify a command or program in this box, it is carried out before the log file is monitored. This command or program can produce a file which the policy uses instead of the original log file.

Note NOTE
Log files which contain binary data cannot be processed by the Logfile Entry policy, and must be preprocessed using this option.

Process a log file before monitoring:

  1. Right-click the policy and select All Tasks Edit...
  2. Select Source.
  3. Select Preprocessing. Type the file or command to be carried out and the file to be read.
