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