Release Notes

Configuring the Nodinite Log File Parser Monitoring Agent

Unlock automated, end-to-end monitoring for any text-based log file with the Nodinite Log File Parser Monitoring Agent. This guide helps you:

  • ✅ Instantly detect key events or errors in any log file
  • ✅ Automate real-time alerts for compliance and operational excellence
  • ✅ Track correlated events across multiple files for true end-to-end visibility
  • ✅ Leverage RegEx for flexible, custom monitoring scenarios

You can configure the Nodinite Log File Parser Monitoring Agent for two powerful monitoring options:

  1. Correlated Events (Log File Event) – Correlate events spanning one or more log files using a date and identifier for end-to-end tracking.

  2. Content File – Get alerts if the specified RegEx matches data in one or more files.

Test your RegEx expressions using RegEx101 or a similar tool. Master RegEx to maximize the value of this agent.

Note

You enable Monitoring and remote configuration after you install and create the initial Monitoring Agent Configuration for the Nodinite Log File Parser Monitoring Agent. Start here if you are a first-time user.
