Currently, Lire +can generate reports for a variety of email, web, dns, ftp, print +servers and firewalls, and supports multiple output formats. + +Lire is built around the concept of a superservice. A superservice +is a class of applications which share the same reports. Lire +supports 6 superservices: dns, email, firewall, ftp, print and www. +This means that log files for all supported email servers (service +in Lire's parlance) will get similar reports. This is important for +heterogeneous environments where you could have e.g. Sendmail and +Postfix mail servers running. You will get similar reports which +you can compare. + +Notes: +- PDF output can be enabled if you follow the instructions coming + with "make pdf" +- Excel output only works if you have Perl 5.6.1 + +WWW: www.logreport.org |
