Description Miroslav Suchý 2012-02-03 15:52:45 UTC

Description of problem:
Probe Log Agent : log size - does not show size of log

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
spacewalk 1.7 nightly

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. create probe Log Agent : log size for /var/log/messages
2. on monitored machine do chown root:nocpulse /var/log/messages; chmod g+r /var/log/messages
3. push scout config
  
Actual results:
there is some ploted value on first execution probe, but then graph show 0 size of file although it is 100k big.

Expected results:
graph which show real size of file

Comment 1 Michael Mráka 2012-02-14 14:39:08 UTC

The result of investigation is - "size" metric is in reality "size increment from the last check". So in the case above 0 increment si expected.

I agree that current desctiontion of the probe (as well as probe Log Agent: Lines) is misleading and should be changed to something like "Size Increment" (resp. "Lines Increment") for better understanding.

Comment 2 Clifford Perry 2012-02-16 15:29:29 UTC

Agree - can we update the description to better match the functionality of the probe code.
