| Subject: | How to poll and parse a 50k flat file |
| Author: | [Not Specified] |

I have flatfiles on several different servers that I want to model and monitor off. I have not been able to find any examples of what I hope to be able to do. I have be able to access and grep the files with a command performance template, but I would really like to be able to parse the files in the zenosspython eviroment rather than the limitations of the command template.
Can I use a command monitoring template to echo/cat/cp/ftp the content to then be processed by a custom parser Is this a preffered method
Or is there another type of template that would get me access to the file (like as a line array)
We're on 5.1.4

You could make a python datasource to do this. But zencommand already does this. Just write a custom parser or write a script that is executed and outputs json or nagios output.
