Introduction

This document describes the configuration and usage of the Advanced Log Parser plugin for log monitoring in Pandora FMS. The plugin scans a directory for log files, applies regular expression filters on file names and line content, and generates log-type modules with the results encoded in base64.

Unlike other log monitoring plugins, Advanced Log Parser uses an incremental indexing system: it only processes new lines that appear in files since the last execution, avoiding re-reads and duplicates.
