Hi, I've been using log2mail to monitor log files in real-time and send emails when certain messages matched given patterns.
Unfortunately this useful tool has been removed from the Debian archive, so I was looking for alternatives but didn't really find one. An idea that came to mind was, to use rsyslog to monitor arbitrary log files (via imfile), use its powerful message processing engine to do the matching and send notifications via ommail. The log files in need to monitor are created by the application itself and unfortunately can't be easily switched to use syslog Do you think this is a sensible approach or do you propose alternatives? I don't think ommail is flexible enough to allow more advanced features that log2mail provides [2] like templating, resendtime or sendtime, or is there?
