I think that integrating components of the log analyzer with the UNIX
LogWatch mechanism would also be a great idea. Currently LogWatch is
capable of providing summaries of logs from all kinds of UNIX systems from
SSH to HTTPD to SMTP (sendmail). Then system admins get an e-mail with the
summary report that could help with managing security. I personally replace
sendmail with the James Server, and I run the James POP server as well. I
would definitely benefit from gathering and summarizing the logs from those
subsystems to help me detect any breakins on those ports.

I think Bernd was workin on monitoring stuff (JMX). But maybe we could
do something like XML "logging" with a new implementation of the Avalon
Logger.
