Server Log Analysis Tools
 

Being new to all of this, have a question on what you folks feel are the best tools out there for monitoring/viewing/analyzing all of the logs, like syslogd and such. Ease of setup and use are also important to me ;) It will be used on my web-server that I co-located....

I'm using RH 7.3.

I've come accross a couple already like Lire Log report, Log Master, Log Dog and such...

Either GNU or commercial apps.....Pros/cons and links would be great! :cool:

Thanks!!

there are plenty php scripts also c and c++ check this site www.hotscripts.com

One that I think should be on any machine is Webmin, it does logs but also about everything else and through a web browser and it is really easy to install, you could just install it as a rpm in about 2 minutes its ready to use.

I use webtrends (www.webtrends.com) for analysing my webserver logs. Version 7.0 was a nifty application that generated reports in various formats. The recent version 8.0 is more of a service that will be installed on your server and it can be used to monitor many different components.
