How do you use pull data from multiple lines to do a for statement?

Shell Programming and Scripting

Guys I am having a problem with being able to find missing monitors in a configuration check script I am trying to create for accountability purposes for managing a large number of systems. What I am trying to do is run a script that will look at the raw config data in a file and pull all the pool entries that doesn't have a monitor assigned in it. So that I can fix that error. The file that I am pulling has a ton of information but I am only worried about the pool information so I have made a script that pulls only that needed information into a new file to make it easier to work against. Here is the output of Config Data from that script:

pool Happy1 {
   monitor all happy1-check
   members
      1.1.1.4:https
}
pool Happy2 {
   members
      1.1.2.4:https
}
pool Happy3 {
   monitor all happy3-check
   members
      1.1.3.4:https
}
pool Happy4 {
   members
      1.1.4.4:https
}
pool Happy5 {
   monitor all happy5-check
   members
      1.1.5.4:https
}

I am having a hard time being able to pull the data from multiple lines to a single line entry as exampled below is what I am looking for since there is no monitor listed in the config entrry for each pool:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Checking for Pools not being monitored...
|
|   Pool Happy2 may not being monitored
|   Pool Happy4 may not being monitored
|
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here is what I was using for the older version that was only on a single line so it made it much easier to do the search.

TMPDIR="/var/tmp/monitor"
cd ${TMPDIR}
cd - > /dev/null
CONF1=${TMPDIR}/config/test.txt
echo "-------------------------------------------------------------------------"
echo "| Checking for Pools not being monitored..."
echo "|"
pool=`grep -i "^pool" ${CONF1} | cut -f2 -d" "`
for i in $pool; do
   monitorcheck=`grep "monitor" ${CONF1}`
   [ "${monitorcheck}" = "" ] || echo "|   Pool $i may not being monitored."
done
echo ${monitorcheck}
echo "|"
echo "-------------------------------------------------------------------------"

Hi, scottzx7rr:

$ cat data
pool Happy1 {
   monitor all happy1-check
   members
      1.1.1.4:https
}
pool Happy2 {
   members
      1.1.2.4:https
}
pool Happy3 {
   monitor all happy3-check
   members
      1.1.3.4:https
}
pool Happy4 {
   members
      1.1.4.4:https
}
pool Happy5 {
   monitor all happy5-check
   members
      1.1.5.4:https
}

$ awk '/^pool/ {name=$2; getline; if ($1!="monitor") print "Pool " name " may not be monitored"}' data
Pool Happy2 may not be monitored
Pool Happy4 may not be monitored

Take care,

You could convert newlines to spaces, then add newlines back only where you want them:

tr '\n' ' ' < input | sed 's/}/}\n/g' | while read LINE
do
        ...
done

Allister,

Thanks for your assistance. I just found out/remember that some might variate in the line location of the monitor. Some will be line 2 and other might be line 3 or 4. So with the getline that will only return the ones with it on line two. So I am gonna try and find a way using awk for this.

scottzx7rr:

The following code awk and sed solutions look for a line with the first word "monitor" at any point before the closing brace before giving up and deigning it unmonitored. I tested against a slightly modified version of the sample data that you provided in your original post.

$ cat data
pool Happy1 {
   members
   monitor all happy1-check
      1.1.1.4:https
}
pool Happy2 {
   members
      1.1.2.4:https
}
pool Happy3 {
   members
      1.1.3.4:https
   monitor all happy3-check
}
pool Happy4 {
   members
      1.1.4.4:https
}
pool Happy5 {
   monitor all happy5-check
   members
      1.1.5.4:https
}

$ awk '/^pool/ {name=$2; next} $1=="monitor" {name=""} /^\}/ && name { print "Pool " name " may not be monitored"}' data
Pool Happy2 may not be monitored
Pool Happy4 may not be monitored



$######## A sed alternative ########


$ cat monitor.sed 
#n
/^pool/ {
    s/pool \([^ ]*\) .*/\1/; h;
    :next
    n
    /^}/! {
        /^ *monitor/!b next
        d
    }
    g; s/.*/Pool & may not be monitored/p
}


$ sed -f monitor.sed data
Pool Happy2 may not be monitored
Pool Happy4 may not be monitored

Alister,

Great thx. I think I am missing a open { as I am getting an error trying to run it.

Hmmmm. Copy-pasting your quoted code works fine here. I tested on an OSX 10.4 system using nawk and a winxp cygwin system using gawk.

The O/S I am in is Solaris 10. But I was able to use nawk and it worked perfectly. So thanks a great deal!
