also, dig into mmnormalize (liblognorm), it's a very efficient parse engine for extracting values out of logs. The Dyn_stats() feature in rsyslog ends up being a rather powerful tool for summarizing things (SEC is more powerful, but you can do a lot with just dyn_stats() )

Daniel,

I'm pretty sure you and I have had at least one yap at some conference or another. Could be I just attended a talk of yours.

I saw your name here and thought "I'm pretty sure I've met him somewhere", and that was somewhat of a pleasant shock, because I've been digging into rsyslog for some stuff I've been thinking about, and it's in a similar vein to what you're talking about here (feeling multi-line data into analytics to help make some sense of it), and frankly it's nice to hear someone else in the same line of work is thinking similar things with respect to these log files (which are chock full of detailed data).

I don't know if what we're after is in fact the same (most folks seem to use logging for error handling, whereas I'm thinking more about gleaning business analytics from the data).

It feels like there's gold in all those log files. It'd be interesting to see how it could be mined.

Regards,

Jim
