Given a series of linux servers sending their filtered syslog messages to a central server, is there some facility in linux syslog (or an add-on) that can parse the incoming messages and based on message content trigger some linux action routine? Action routines might send email to some support staff, invoke some other program (data collection/archive) or issue a command to another server via a properly authorized path.
About a bajillion. We're in the process of getting rsyslog; swatch is another old favourite. Incidentally, if you're new to Linux, a swing past freshmeat.net can prove handy for finding this sort of tool. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
