The logfmon daemon monitors a set of syslog log files and matches each
|
||
|
new entry against the rules defined in its configuration file. Each
|
||
|
rule may be tested against entries from a single file, a set of files or
|
||
|
from all files. Depending on the rule, a command may be executed or the
|
||
|
entry may be ignored. All unmatched messages are batched together and
|
||
|
mailed every 15 minutes, or whatever alternative time is specified in
|
||
|
the configuration file.
