Syslog and SNMP

[Matt]

Is it possible to export alerts, logs or object logs in syslog ?
Is there a way to monitor the logicmachine in SNMP (standard or private MIBs)?

Do you mean to external syslog on the network? It has a fairly simple UDP-based protocol which can be implemented via a script.

For SNMP we can provide LuaSNMP library, but our clients have only used it to query other devices, not other way round.

My idea was just to monitor the system (cpu, memory, disk, ...) with a monitoring tool like a standard linux device.
Just the standard MIB2 would be enough.

For the syslog, is there a way to make a code executer on each call of alert() ?

You can override alert function in user function library, then all scripts will use new function instead of old. You just have to implement syslogsend.

Code:

oldalert = alert

alert = function(text, ...)
 text = tostring(text) or ''
 text = string.format(text, ...)

 syslogsend(text)

 oldalert(text)
end
