TailMe is an utility providing functions similar to the UNIX/Linux command "tail": it lists the last changed lines/characters in a text file.
You can always see changes taking place in the file on the fly. It is very usefull for monitoring log files of applications - e.g. Apache's error.log and access.log.
Screenshot
TailMe can monitor several log files at the same time and provides a more expressive output than console"tail" programs can do.
Functions:
o add/remove monitor files at runtime
o automatic purge of text buffer
o resizeable monitor windows
o possibility to minimize TailMe into the system tray
o lines with special (user-defined) key words are written in different colors
o shrinked log files are symbolized with a horizontal line
o stop/continue monitoring via double click in the window area of the corresponding monitor file
o list of "recent files" is available and saved in the INI file
o drag&drop of files from the Explorer
Central Loghost Mini-HOWTO This page is simply a collection of open source tools you can use to glue together your own centralized (syslog) loghost. Included are example configuration settings so that you can configure your loghost in a manner similar to mine. There is very little that you need to read and understand in order to use these tools. Also, these tools are widely used and therefore easy to get help with on internet mailing lists. I established a centralized location for syslog collection in order to facilitate: Log reporting real time alerting periodic (several times per day) summary reporting Log storage long term archival for possible later analysis Tools used: UNIX hosts (Linux and Solaris) Modified logcheck script(s). Syslog-NG Swatch though I'm slowly moving to SEC, this page will be updated once I've completely switched Splunk for a GUI interface Stunnel
AWStats is a free powerful and featureful tool that generates advanced web, streaming, ftp or mail server statistics, graphically. This log analyzer works as a CGI or from command line and shows you all possible information your log contains, in few graphical web pages. It uses a partial information file to be able to process large log files, often and quickly. It can analyze log files from all major server tools like Apache log files (NCSA combined/XLF/ELF log format or common/CLF log format), WebStar, IIS (W3C log format) and a lot of other web, proxy, wap, streaming servers, mail servers and some ftp servers.
