Description:
Logsurfer is a program that works on single text lines from a
logfile (or from standard input). It compares each line against
regular expressions of a set of "rules" and performs certain
actions that are defined for this match.
The logsurfer uses "rules" to define actions for messages (single
lines). Messages may be collected in "contexts" which are stored
in memory. Those contexts have their own default actions (e.g.
for timeouts). At start time you have to define a set of rules in
the configuration file. While processing logmessages the
logsurfer is able to dynamically add or delete rules, create or
destroy contexts, invoke external programs for alerting people or
to perform further automated actions etc.
