1 Hi!
2
3 We are pleased to announce that tenshi 0.3 has been released with a lot of major
4 improvements.
5
6 Tenshi was formerly known as wasabi. The name was changed to tenshi after we were
7 informed that wasabi is a registered trademark relating to another piece of software.
8
9 The updated ebuild is available in portage at app-admin/tenshi.
10
11 Please read the docs carefully since the configuration syntax has changed a little, most
12 notably in the time intervals specification which are now cron style based.
13
14 Here's the Changelog:
15
16 - added skip groups to speed parsing
17 - added cron-style specs instead of time periods
18 - added ability to send to multiple recipients, suggested by:
19 Marc Doumayrou <doud@×××××.net>
20 - added solaris init file from Marc Doumayrou <doud@×××××.net>
21 - added logprefix option to handle non-syslog logs
22 - added status messages
23 - added log files perms check
24
25 - fixed missing headers in smtp code
26 - added hidepid feature
27 - replaced expand_repeats with builtin repeat queue

30 - What's tenshi?
31
32 This is a Gentoo hosted project initially developed for Gentoo infrastructure
33 servers.
34
35 Tenshi is a log monitoring program, designed to watch one or more log files for
36 lines matching user defined regular expressions and report on the matches. The regular
37 expressions are assigned to queues which have an alert interval and a list of
38 mail recipients.
39
40 Queues can be set to send a notification as soon as there is a log line assigned
41 to it, or to send periodic reports.
42
43 Additionally, uninteresting fields in the log messages (such as PID numbers) can
44 be masked with the standard regular expressions grouping operators ( ). This
45 allows cleaner and more readable reports. All reports are separated by hostname
46 and all messages are condensed when possible.
47
48 The program reads a configuration file (tenshi.conf) and then forks a deamon for
49 monitoring the specified log files.
50
51 Please read the example tenshi.conf and tenshi.8 man page for usage
52 instructions.
