I am currently using two programs to monitor my logs: |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
swatch - http://swatch.sourceforge.net/, which I use for monitoring realtime |
| 10 |
events in my log files, like failed logins, administrator/root logins, etc. |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
logwatch - http://www.logwatch.org/, which I use for generating daily reports |
| 13 |
on the logged information. |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
Is this perfect, no, but a start. Some of the other programs I have looked as |
| 16 |
but not really implemented are: |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
sec - http://simple-evcorr.sourceforge.net/, which does some event analysis. |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
tenshi - http://tenshi.gentoo.org, which is a Gentoo project for log parsing |
| 21 |
and notification. |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
There are some event analysis tools, but I have not even considered looking at |
| 24 |
them yet, like: |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
OSSIM - http://www.ossim.net |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
OpenSIMS - http://www.opensims.org |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
A good site is http://www.loganalysis.org |
