I'm trying to find a good log checker. Basically, I want it to report anything that I don't tell it to ignore.
I've tried logcheck first and when I couldn't get it to do what I want I tried logwatch. It has an ignore file that it says to just cut and paste what you want to ignore. I do that and it doesn't ignore it. Some docs mention that its all based on regular expressions so I tried enclosing the lines in quotes to no avial. I do neither perl nor RE: they're both too cryptic. I guess I'll never be a true *N*X weenie. I _like_ most of what logwatch does, like telling me how many times a login happened, especially failed ones. I just don't like to have to pour through all the bootup lines every day. If I don't find anything else, I'll disable this portion of logwatch and go back to my brute-force python script for parsing syslog. I'm running Etch amd64 on an Athlon. What do others use?
