The sys admin’s daily grind: phpLogCon
MILKING MACHINE 2.0
Using SQL to sift syslog data out of a database is an admittedly universal, but also fairly convoluted approach. phpLogCon, with its web interface, gives admins an easier option.
In last month’s issue, I talked about RSyslog, a replacement for the syslog daemons. Instead of referencing the standard logfiles in /var/log, RSyslog works with one or multiple databases in which it logs local results or data supplied by remote servers. I always use one database, Maillog, for the mail facility, and a second database, syslog, for all other messages.
A couple of scripts extract statistics on spam filter performance from the Maillog DB.
