Alias not working about jtimon HOT 3 OPEN

Hi Renato,

Please find the error handling of new alias creation in this pull request #125, jtimon won't be silent on why alias is not working.

from jtimon.

Just upgraded our installation to the git version, but got no log on stdout and the alias still not working.

I'm using only this config:
{
"host": "XXXX",
"port": 32767,
"paths": [
{ "path": "/lldp", "freq": 5000 }
],
"alias": "alias.txt"
}

and this alias.txt:
lldp-frame-in-total:/lldp/state/counters/frame-in
lldp-frame-out-total:/lldp/state/counters/frame-out
lldp-hello-timer:/lldp/state/hello-timer
lldp-system-name:/lldp/state/system-name
lldp-enabled:/lldp/state/enabled

I got this on the scrape:

# HELP _lldp_state_counters_frame_in JTIMON Metric
# TYPE _lldp_state_counters_frame_in untyped
_lldp_state_counters_frame_in{device="XXX"} 55769
# HELP _lldp_state_counters_frame_out JTIMON Metric
# TYPE _lldp_state_counters_frame_out untyped
_lldp_state_counters_frame_out{device="XXX"} 60288
# HELP _lldp_state_counters_tlv_accepted JTIMON Metric

# HELP _lldp_state_enabled JTIMON Metric
# TYPE _lldp_state_enabled untyped
_lldp_state_enabled{device="XXX"} 1

May you please try the following config? Setting verbose to true may help.
{ "host": "XXXX", "port": 32767, "paths": [ { "path": "/lldp", "freq": 5000 } ], "alias": "alias.txt", "log": { "verbose": true } }
