+# Log file regular expression detector for Nagios.
+# Written by Aaron Bostick (abostick@mydoconline.com)
+# Last modified: 05-02-2002
+#
+# Thanks and acknowledgements to Ethan Galstad for Nagios and the check_log
+# plugin this is modeled after.
+#
+# Usage: check_log2 -l <log_file> -s <seek_file> -p <pattern> [-n <negpattern>]
+#
+# Description:
+#
+# This plugin will scan arbitrary text files looking for regular expression
+# matches. The text file to scan is specified with <log_file>.
+# <log_seek_file> is a temporary file used to store the seek byte position
+# of the last scan. This file will be created automatically on the first
+# scan. <pattern> can be any RE pattern that perl's s/// syntax accepte. Be
+# forewarned that a bad pattern will send this script into never never land!
+#
+# Output:
+#
+# This plugin returns OK when a file is successfully scanned and no pattern
+# matches are found. WARNING is returned when 1 or more patterns are found
+# along with the pattern count and the line of the last pattern matched.
+# CRITICAL is returned when an error occurs, such as file not found, etc.
+#
+# Notes (paraphrased from check_log's notes):
+#
+# 1. The "max_attempts" value for the service should be 1, as this
+# will prevent Nagios from retrying the service check (the
+# next time the check is run it will not produce the same results).
+#
+# 2. The "notify_recovery" value for the service should be 0, so that
+# Nagios does not notify you of "recoveries" for the check. Since
+# pattern matches in the log file will only be reported once and not
+# the next time, there will always be "recoveries" for the service, even
+# though recoveries really don't apply to this type of check.
+#
+# 3. You *must* supply a different <log_Seek_file> for each service that
+# you define to use this plugin script - even if the different services
+# check the same <log_file> for pattern matches. This is necessary
+# because of the way the script operates.
+#
+# Examples:
+#
+# Check for error notices in messages
+# check_log2 -l /var/log/messages -s ./check_log2.messages.seek -p 'err'
+#
