Overview

The PrimeAlert LogFileAlert module can be used to scan a single local file or series of local files for user-specified patterns. Multiple files or a multiple series of files may be scanned by loading multiple PrimeAlert LogFileAlert modules in PrimeAlert agents. Patterns may be added, removed and edited in the module without having to restart it or the agent into which it has been loaded.
File scanning may be performed in one of two modes, full and incremental. These are further described in this help file. File scanning may be further enhanced to scan a series of files. This is also described in this help file.
The following help pages describe how to load PrimeAlert LogFileAlert modules and how to use the PrimeAlert LogFileAlert module to scan other files.
