Up to now my anti-spam tactics have been more hands-on and real-time so instead of collecting stats after the fact I wrote some pipelines to parse and grep and colorize my various qmail/syslogs that I leave running in a 'screen' session so I can get a rough visual image of my system's network interactions. (I do keep a ton of logs around tho and plan on getting some hard numbers out of them some day.)
Until last week I had a similar setup for my apache logs but now instead of 7 different pipelines all doing basically the same thing, I have one perl script to do it all, much easier to manage. I'm working on a similar script now to unify my syslog-viewers into one script for more ease of maintenance. I don't have a reasonable screenshot of the qmail/syslogs (still in dev) but if you follow the link you can see what the apache viewer looks like and extrapolate from there. The syslogviewer doesn't squish lines into 80 columns tho, it prints in full glory. And like other people's analyzers, my scripts are rather specialized for my needs but should be just general enough to be useful by others. http://web.they.org/software/weblogtail.html -Frank On Thu, 11 Dec 2003, Michael A.
