[osiris-devel] Feature Request - Dated Ignores

[Alexei_Roudnev]

Osiris is not real-time system, so it can not work by this way.

What can work is some 'smart' shecdule, saying that 'scan at 10 am , e-mail,
no-auto ack; scan at 5 pm, auto-ack, e-mail'.
(I am not saying, that I support the whole idea).

Hi all,

During certain scheduled times, files on my system are set to change..
Most notably are rebuilds of ssl certs, and lockfiles for running
processes when logs rotate.  I know about these, and I'd like to
automatically ignore them on a regular schedule.  However, if they change
outside of that schedule, I need to know since there may be a problem..

So, I propose adding some sort of ignore system to osiris that would allow
a user to ignore a file during a certain period of time.  Obviously the
system would have to rehash that file and automatically add it to the
db...  I was imagining something like this:

IgnoreFile "filename" "0 0 * * *"

Where the first field is the filename and the second field is a
crontab-like entry of the time to ignore the file...  ie, in the above
example, it would ignore the file at midnight each night...

Thoughts, comments, flames?  :)
