The logged messages can +be dispatched according to their facility, urgency, program name and/or +Perl-compatible regular expressions. + +Log files can be automatically rotated when they exceed a certain size or age. +External shell scripts (ex: mail) can be launched when specific patterns are +found. + +Metalog is easier to configure than syslogd and syslog-ng, accepts unlimited +number of rules and has (switchable) memory bufferisation for maximal +performance. + +WWW: http://metalog.sourceforge.net/ |
