26 - What's tenshi?
27
28 This is a Gentoo hosted project initially developed for Gentoo infrastructure
29 servers.

31 Tenshi is a log monitoring program, designed to watch one or more log files for
32 lines matching user defined regular expressions and report on the matches. The regular
33 expressions are assigned to queues which have an alert interval and a list of
34 mail recipients.
35
36 Queues can be set to send a notification as soon as there is a log line assigned
37 to it, or to send periodic reports.
38
39 Additionally, uninteresting fields in the log messages (such as PID numbers) can
40 be masked with the standard regular expressions grouping operators ( ). This
41 allows cleaner and more readable reports. All reports are separated by hostname
42 and all messages are condensed when possible.
43
44 The program reads a configuration file (tenshi.conf) and then forks a deamon for
45 monitoring the specified log files.
46
47 Please read the example tenshi.conf and tenshi.8 man page for usage
48 instructions.
