util.sh

The util.sh script can add a file to be monitored by ospatrol-logcollector. It can also add a full_command to check for changes to a website, or for changes to the name server of a domain.

A blogpost from Daniel Cid (for 3WoO) introduced this utility.

util.sh argument options

.. program:: util.sh

.. option:: addfile <filename> [<format>]

    Add a file to be monitored by ``ospatrol-logtest``. A ``localfile`` will be added to the ospatrol.conf.

.. option:: addsite <domain>

   Monitor a website for changes. A ``full_command`` will be added to the ``ospatrol.conf`` using lynx to dump the initial page.
   A rule can be written to monitor this output for changes.

   .. note::
      Requires `lynx <http://lynx.isc.org/current/>`_.

   .. warning::
      This may not be useful on pages with dynamic content.

.. option:: adddns <domain>

   Monitor the name server of a domain for changes. A ``full_command`` will be added to the ospatrol.conf using host

util.sh example usage

Example: Running util.sh

Running the following command:

# /var/ospatrol/bin/util.sh adddns ospatrol.net

will add the folling to that system's ospatrol.conf:

<ospatrol_config>
   <localfile>
     <log_format>full_command</log_format>
     <command>host -W 5 -t NS ospatrol.net; host -W 5 -t A ospatrol.net | sort</command>
   </localfile>
 </ospatrol_config>
