scsohlog

Connect to the messaging and collect all information sent from connected clients.

Description

scsohlog connects to the messaging and collects all information sent from connected clients. It creates an XML file and writes that to disc at a configurable interval. That output can be read by any consumer and converted to the desired output.

Example

Create an output XML file every 60 seconds and execute a custom script to process that XML file.

#!/bin/sh
scsohlog -o stat.xml -i 60 --script process-stat.sh

You can also preconfigure these values:

monitor.output.file = /path/to/stat.xml
monitor.output.interval = 60
monitor.output.script = /path/to/script.sh
