I’ve tried several grep / egrep ideas with different options but none worked here. I’m trying to grep exact match of the pattern I’m looking in a log.
For example I want only a pattern “ERROR” to get grepped, rather than a word “ERROR123.”
I have two patterns to check Error/Exception. I’m looking for a solution where I can only grep, egrep, awk or sed the exact match.
Here is the update:
ERRCNT=`cat $LogFile | tail -c +$lastPosition | head -c +$difference | grep -qw "$EXPR1|$EXPR2"`
PATTERN=$ERRCNT
if [ -n "$ERRCNT" ]; then
echo "$MSG : $PATTERN"
exit 2;
else
echo "OK - NO ERROR CODES FOUND IN THE LOG"
exit 0;
fi;
When I see a pattern "Error / Exception" I need to get alerted. But when I have a pattern - Exceptioncase / Errornote. it also throws an exit2. I only need it on “Error / Exception.”
Any suggestions ?
