Hi, Guys,

I create a event-option to record the RPM results every 5 minutes, how could I append all results int the same files ( as the traceoption file, file size, and zipping files ) ?

set event-options generate-event ping time-interval 300
set event-options policy Policy1 events ping
set event-options policy Policy1 then execute-commands commands "show service rpm history-results"
set event-options policy Policy1 then execute-commands output-filename RPM_status.txt
set event-options policy Policy1 then execute-commands output-format text
set event-options policy Policy1 then execute-commands destination local-directory
set event-options destinations local-directory archive-sites /var/log/

Thanks a lot

Hello Ben,

You can achieve this by using the append option in cli.

set event-options policy Policy1 then execute-commands commands "show service rpm history-results | append /var/log/RPM_status.txt"

With this you would not need to specify the output-file format,destination etc.

I hope this helps. Regards,

Hi, Nelumbo,

This is a good tool, thanks so much for your advice.

But "commit" does not work If I remove the following commands :

1. set event-options policy Policy1 then execute-commands output-filename RPM_status
2. set event-options policy Policy1 then execute-commands destination local-directory
3. set event-options policy Policy1 then execute-commands output-format text
4. set event-options destinations local-directory archive-sites /var/log/

Also, due to the file "RPM_status" is increasing unlimitely, can I :

1. zip the file evey day

2. set 10 pcs of zipped file at max

3. wipe out the oldest files

4. so they are in turn

I want to keep the rpm test and records up to around 10 days 

How to achieve this requirement ?

Many thanks

Hello Ben,

I was able to commit with this configuration. Here is a sample from my lab running 15.1.

I believe you would need to use the event ping_test_completed rather than ping, secondly the archive options for a specific file can be set under system syslog.

set event-options policy Policy1 events ping_test_completed 
set event-options policy Policy1 then execute-commands commands "show service rpm history-results | append /var/log/RPM_status.txt"

set system syslog file history-results archive files 10 size 5M

I hope this helps. Regards,
