Im looking for a assistant to help me with my log reading. I know logs are important and that if I dont read them I am setting myself up for trouble in many ways Security wise or other wise. The problem I have is there is so darn many of them and being basically a lazy person I want to get the computer to help me sort them all and monitor them all. I hate having to hunt down logs scattered all over the place, and admittedly linux is tons better than other operating systems I have used, its still a pain for me. Can I scan my logs for keywords and have the bot email me if it picks up pre designated phrases or code words? Can I have a bot take predetermined actions based on log entries? I want to shift the burden a little bit onto the computer and give me more time to think rather than react.... Any help , thoughts, comments, suggestions is appreciated. Thanks Matt
