I am soliciting opinions and some guidance on few very general sys admin questions.
1. What do people in general use to parse large amount of log files received in the form of e-mails? security/logsurfer and similar. I have seen some in the ports tree. 2. I just learned about www/racktables but it seems rather complicated. Are there some simpler tools with similar functionality which do not involve data bases and web interfaces. 3. Are there any advantages of graphics/dia over general purposes vectorial graphics programs like graphics/inkscape for drawing network topology. Thanks, Predrag
