New port: misc/logsurfer+
Logsurfer is a program for monitoring system logs in real-time, and reporting on the occurrence of events. It is similar to the well-known swatch program on which it is based, but offers a number of advanced features which swatch does not support. Logsurfer is capable of grouping related log entries together - for instance, when a system boots it usually creates a high number of log messages. In this case, logsurfer can be setup to group boot-time messages together and forward them in a single Email message to the system administrator under the subject line "Host xxx has just booted". Swatch just couldn't do this properly. WWW: http://www.crypt.gen.nz/logsurfer/ PR: ports/157953 Submitted by: rpsfa@rit.edu (me) Approved by: tabthorpe (mentor)
