Automated log monitoring – are there any opensource tools available?
Hi all, apologies if this question was asked before but I have spent quite a long time searching on that subject and could not find anything useful.
I was wondering if anybody heard about a tool that could be used to pipe system logs into it and detect any anomalies in order to alert server administrator that her/his attention is required? I could not find such a tool so I started a project on source-forge (https://sourceforge.net/projects/intelligentloganalyser/) but I would still be much happier to use something if already exist.

- ramtatatam 13y agoMany thanks for both hyperlinks, they look quite promising however not exactly what I have had in mind. I was hoping to find a tool that would learn 'safe patterns' from given source and then in operational mode would send email if any log does not fit any pattern.
