Top Log

In this example, we log output from the top (display tasks) command.

The TopLog script shown below does its work silently, and sends no alert messages.

The script follows.

TopLog          // for special monitoring of a flakey machine,
                // or possibly for security purposes

        init
                status =piktstatus
                level =piktlevel
                task "Log top output"
                input proc "=top -b -d 1 -n 1"

        rule
                =output_alarm_log($inlin)
