Hello everyone,
I know this isn't strictly CentOS query, but I am hoping that someone here with more experience than myself might have some thoughts.
I am trying to get a plugin working for Ganglia on a CentOS 5.5 box, in a testing environment. The plugin is for apache monitoring, called Ganglia-Logtailer. This plugin requires the executable /usr/bin/logtail in order to work. The only packages that have this executable, that I have been able to find, is part of the epel-testing repository in the logcheck package. When I try to install the package from that repository, it is missing the dependency, perl-mime-construct, which I am not able to find packaged anywhere.
It appears that the logcheck package includes several other executables that I do not need, and those other executables are what requires the perl-mime-construct package.
My question is, does anyone know of a source to get this package that would also include the necessary requirements? If not, any way that I can rebuild the source package, and remove the things that I do not need, and thus removing their dependencies? If I have to maintain my own package for this, I can, but I would prefer another option, if available. Any other way of getting this single executable that anyone can think of?
