Pre-announcing Clog
Log files are big boring tangles of spaghetti that are about as much fun to review in their raw format as it is to go to the dentist. Yet, not reviewing your logs is one sure-fire way to be negligent, especially when you're a System Administrator.
I surveyed the options. Logwatch came out on top but it is not as easy to customize as it should be. So I wrote clog.
This isn't that hard, after all. In the spirit of "release early, release often" I am "pre-announcing" it. I'm not declaring a release, and it's bound to change drastically over the next week or two, but it works and it's ready to go to work for you. If my as of yet small collection of agents isn't good enough for you, then write your own (it's easy, especially if you know ruby already; just subclass Clog::Agent) and send them to me to be included.
