In this example, we log output from the top (display tasks) command.

The TopLog script shown below does its work silently, and sends no alert messages.

The script follows.

///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
//
// process_alarms.cfg
//
///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

[other alarms omitted...]

///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

TopLog          // for special monitoring of a flakey machine,
                // or possibly for security purposes

        init
                status active
                level debug
                task "Log top output"
                input proc "=top -b -d 1 -n 1"

        rule
                output log "=toplog_log" $inline
