[rhn-users] Tools to monitor log files

[Gregg Phillips]

Norm,

Take a look at splunk from www.splunk.com. There is a free version and
also a paid version. It is very useful for parsing and notifying you
about issues that appear in your log files.

BTW, you can also get swatch for linux, just search for it on rpmfind.net.

Good luck,

Gregg.
