Syslog analytic

Hi Archers,

I am looking for a program to analyse my syslog-ng log files. Can you recommend an app for me?

Cheers

Re: Syslog analytic

I use  this script. It doesn't 'analyse' anything but  works pretty well for finding error messages:

find /var/log/* -type f -regex '[^0-9]+$' \
-exec grep -Eni '.*(missing|error|fail|\s(not|no .+) found|(no |not |in)valid|\sbug|fatal|conflict|problem|critical|corrupt|warning|wrong|illegal|segfault|\sfault|caused|\sunable|\(EE\)|\(WW\))' {} \+ \

pacman search suggests logwatch.

Re: Syslog analytic

as tomk said, try logwatch. There's also swatch (in repos as well)
