Just to clarify what I meant, I am not necessarily saying that all of this stuff needs to be driven out of the php-syslog-ng database. Perhaps you just use the PHP front-end to drive changes down to the syslog-ng.conf, or like you said, you create this second destination which is a FIFO and you have some perl script reading from the FIFO, and applying the rulesets that were created through the php-syslog-ng interface and saved in the database.
I will look into swatch/watcher and other tools and see if maybe there are some out of the box solutions that can be integrated to accomplish my goal without custom development. -----Original Message----- From: Jason Taylor [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, July 07, 2006 2:22 PM To: Freeman, Michael Cc: Claus Lund; [email protected] Subject: Re: [Php-syslog-ng-support] Log2rss support? Something like this might be easier to implement on the back-end syslog-ng side, and not by hitting the database. What about tools like swatch or watcher? How I see it working is creating a second "destination" in the syslog-ng config file which sends "pre-filtered" log-output to a file or socket to be u sed as input by one of these log-watcher programs. When the program sees a hit, it can create the "notify" event which could easily be configured as an event to add to an RSS feed. If you are dead-set on using the database for this, then you are not going to have "real-time" stream processing as in the above case. You will likely be running a periodic query on the database and processing that output. But in either case, what you are after is some kind of alerter service. At present, php-syslog-ng is nothing more than a log-presentation service. The alerter stuff can be added on but would be entirely separate from the front end. It would be just another consumer of the syslog-ng database. /Jason -- You can have my Mac when you pry it from my cold, dead hands. e:[EMAIL PROTECTED] v:514-815-8204 <quote who="Freeman, Michael"> > Yeah, my idea was to allow the user to build the type of filter they > wanted and underneath the hood it would make a SQL query to the DB > grabbing that stuff and generating the RSS.
