Epylog is a syslog parser which runs periodically,
|
|
|
|
|
looks at your logs, processes some of the entries
|
|
|
|
|
in order to present them in a more comprehensible format,
|
|
|
|
|
and then mails you the output.
|
|
|
|
|
It is written specifically for large network clusters
|
|
|
|
|
where a lot of machines (around 50 and upwards) log to the
|
|
|
|
|
same loghost using syslog or syslog-ng.
|
|
|
|
|
It is an alternative to a similar package, called LogWatch.
|
|
|

The epylog engine should work on most unix systems running
|
|
|
|
|
Python-2.2 and above, although currently the processing modules
|
|
|
|
|
are only written to work with linux (and particularly Red Hat Linux
|
|
|
|
|
series 7 and above).
|
|
|
|
|
However, other unix and linux flavors should work fine,
|
|
|
|
|
as long as they use standard logging facilities and things like PAM.
