[CentOS] Log viewing and analysis tools
I have a requirement to allow our security officer to regularly view and analyze the logging and auditing results of one of the machines in our lab. He comes from the Microsoft Windows world and is not a *nix trained person. I know I can configure logwatch. I can also create a script containing various 'aureport' runs into a cron job. Any recommendations for a GUI-based tool that would be easy for him to learn? Dave M ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

It can be easily accessed, given specific filtered queries, etc. Check out the Online Demo page to see how it looks. __ If life gives you lemons, keep them-- because hey.. free lemons. ♥ Sticker fixer: http://microflush.org/stuff/stickers/heartFix.html ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Need to analyze logs? Have a look at splunk! http://www.splunk.com/ Not sure why anyone would use anything else to tell the truth. :) On Tue, Aug 28, 2012 at 11:49 AM, Joseph Spenner joseph85...@yahoo.comwrote: From: David McGuffey davidmcguf...@verizon.net To: centos@centos.org Sent: Tuesday, August 28, 2012 2:51 AM Subject: [CentOS] Log viewing and analysis tools I have a requirement to allow our security officer to regularly view and analyze the logging and auditing results of one of the machines in our lab.
