LogDog Description

LogDog is a tool that monitors messages passing through syslogd and takes action based on key words and phrases. LogDog is a tool that monitors messages passing through syslogd and takes action based on key words and phrases.LogDog has a configuration file which allows you to specify a list of key words or phrases to alert on, and a list of commands that can be run when those words are encountered.Here are some key features of "LogDog":· Monitors syslogd messages for key words and phrases and runs system commands based on content.· Logs all activity to a file.· HUP signal is intercepted correctly and causes Logdog to reload its configuration and refresh all filehandles.· Reads data from syslogd via a FIFO for efficiency and low latency alerts.· Script returns error status to the system when an error occurs.· Verbose and descriptive error messages if something goes wrong.· Multiple debugging levels.Installation: make installWhat's New in This Release:· Updated the pringmsg() function. It now logs and syslogs messages in a more syslog-like format.· Made it so it doesn't drop permissions until after it opens/writes its PID file. This means that if you *are* dropping permissions a HUP signal will likely cause logdog to exit abruptly if your PID file is not writable by Logdog.
