1). scp the LoGrobot/LoGXray package to the remote node(s)

2). Go to the remote node you just scped the logXray zip file to (ssh to it)

3). unzip the LoGrobot/LoGxray package

4). cd to the logXray directory, then run the following command:

	./install.sh /var/tmp/logXray /bin -force  (you can replace '/bin' with your actual nagios plugins directory)

./check_nrpe -t 40 -n -u -H (ip-of-one-of-your-remote-nodes) -c check_unix_logs -a 'localhost /var/tmp/logXray autonda /opt/apps/alert.log 60m 'ERROR' '.' 5 5 tomcat_logchk -ndshow'

Using LoGrobot with the logXray agent

}

OR

define command {
         command_name    NLM
         command_line    $USER1$/nlm $ARG1$ $HOSTADDRESS$ $ARG2$ $ARG3$ $ARG4$ "$ARG5$" "$ARG6$" $ARG7$ $ARG8$ $ARG9$ $ARG10$ $ARG11$ $ARG12$
}
define service {
         check_command           NLM!logxray!/var/tmp/logXray!autonda!/var/log/proteus.log!15m!500.html!500 Internal Server Error!1!2!500_Errors!-ndshow

}
1). scp the LoGrobot/LoGXray package to the remote node(s)
2). Go to the remote node you just scped the logXray zip file to (ssh to it)
3). unzip the LoGrobot/LoGxray package
4). cd to the logXray directory, then run the following command:
	./install.sh /var/tmp/logXray /bin -force  (you can replace '/bin' with your actual nagios plugins directory)
	Run another command to spring up the [ logXray agent ] so that your MASTER Nagios server(s) can communicate with it:
		./custom_monitoring_agent   /var/tmp/logXray   1040      force
        i.e:
                ./custom_monitoring_agent   /var/tmp/logXray    1040   10.100.10.111,10.100.10.112  force
5). Verify that the logXray remote agent is up and running:
	xray_agent status

---------------------
To verify Email works:
---------------------

nlm logxray :1040:emailing /var/tmp/logXray autonda /var/log/messages 60m '.' '.' 1 2 errors_monwatch -ndfoundn errors_monwatch ,Support@LoGrobot.com

  i.e:

	nlm logxray nagmoap002.phx.logrobot.com:1040:emailing /var/tmp/logXray autonda /var/log/messages 60m '.' '.' 1 2 errors_monwatch -ndfoundn errors_monwatch Jane.Doe@janedoe.com,Support@LoGrobot.com

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To verify integration with other Monitoring Application works (Nagios, Zenoss, Zabbix, Sensu, Tivoli...etc):
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

	nlm logxray nagmoap002.phx.logrobot.com:1040 /var/tmp/logXray,noextraoutput autonda /var/log/messages 60m '.' '.' 1 2 test_tag2 -ndshow

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
No responses from the nlm command:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When you run nlm/logXray with the ":emailing" option, you will not see any output on your terminal.  It produces none.  You will however receive email notifications instead.

If no email notification is received, make sure the xray_agent is up and running on the remote host on which you're running the nlm command against.
