how to use regex in zabbix logrt[]

This is my item key:

logrt["/home/xxx/log/*/mylog\.logfile","Error"]

I do not want to use the "normal" function from logrt. I only use this, because this is the only possible way to use regular expressions in the log path. The full path is: /home/xxx/log/server1/mylog.logfile

The error code is:

Cannot obtain directory information: [2] No such file or directory

I have tried different combinations of regex but nothing will work. Any ideas?

Solution

  • You can't use regex on the directory path, according to the documentation:

    Regular expressions for logrt are supported in filename only, directory regular expression matching is not supported.
