It produces output in ANSI, ASCII, CSV, HTML format, and is easily configured to your needs via the /etc/logtool/* files. It is suitable for use in generating easy to read logfile reports, webpages, and online monitoring of logfiles. Please see the included documentation files (which are located in /usr/doc/%{name}-%{version}) for more details. %prep %setup %build # Make sure we clean up anything I might have fscked up and left laying around # in the source tree. make clean # configure for a default install ./configure # build the binaries make %install # Until I get the hang of autoconf and friends, the stuff below is the same # thing as "make install" taking into account $RPM_BUILD_ROOT make install DESTDIR=$RPM_BUILD_ROOT %clean # blow away the build dir structure rm -rf $RPM_BUILD_ROOT %post %postun %files %defattr(-,root,root) %doc README COPYING TODO INSTALL CHANGES USAGE CREDITS logtool.spec doc/* scripts/* %config(noreplace) /usr/local/etc/logtool/* /usr/local/bin/logtool /usr/local/man/man1/logtool.1* %changelog * Fri Apr 04 2003 A.L.Lambert - Fixed some bugs in how duplicate suppression was handled and some misc stuff. - it's better - you should upgrade. :) * Tue Mar 18 2003 A.L.Lambert - 1.2.0 is getting ready for initial release! WOOHOO!!!! - - Still probably a few days away as I write this, but we're about there. - - Changes are WAY too much to list in total, but a few highlights: - Now speaks TAI64 dates (IE: D.J.Bernstien's multilog and friends). - Now can optionally suppress duplicate messages. - Now can support and colorize unknown logfile formats - Now can do really cool things with snort and iptables syslog entries - (ip->hostname resolution, special colors, and more!) - Now has special options for a syslog-ng formated log. - Code architecture is VERY VERY VERY changed and better. - Light years better at error handling. - Nice facility to write more modules like snort and iptables. - Way more efficient (but not faster; too much new processing :) - - And much much more!!! Try it, you'll like it!! (I hope :) * Fri Nov 22 2002 A.L.Lambert - Returning to active development of logtool to implement a few new ideas I've had. - - Somewhat major changes; added color options for: - Magenta - Blue - Cyan - Bright Cyan - - Rewrote regex.c a bit to make it easy for future allowances of new REGEX's - Minor tweaks and other code stuff. - - Have begun adding hooks for specialized output modules for known event types - (no working code on this front yet). - - Preparing to write a ncurses module (no code on this fron yet either!) * Mon Jun 11 2001 A.L.Lambert - Minor changes for 1.0.6 release as follows: - - Modified the autoconf stuff to (hopefully) be more cross-platform - - Added a fflush(stdin); to make logtool happier with scripts that do - line-by-line reading on platforms who's libc doesn't do this automatically - for printf(); and friends. - - Probably a few little things I'm forgetting. :) * Thu Feb 01 2001 A.L.Lambert - Tweaked the 1.0.5 release as follows: - - Added configure.in statements to make ./configure point to the propper - paths in the documentation (config file stuff). * Mon Jan 29 2001 A.L.Lambert - 1.0.5 release. Not much new except the following: - - Now uses GNU autoconf and friends to configure for build - Fixes a small compile time bug for ScoUnixware induced in 1.0.4 - Not much else. :) * Sat Jan 27 2001 A.L.Lambert - 1.0.4 release. Only chage is a modification to the format check to allow - for broken-ness in PAM syslog messages on RedHat 7.0 * Wed Jan 16 2001 A.L.Lambert - I think I have the configure stuff all tweaked out like it should be. - No doubt I'm wrong on that count, but it's getting closer to release grade - stuff. - - Wrote a manpage for logtool. manpages are annoying to write/deal with. * Sun Jan 14 2001 A.L.Lambert - Commenced converting to a GNU autoconf/configure build process for easier - cross-platform portability. Hopefully this will make our lives nicer in the - long run. - - This spec file is even built using configure. Isn't that neat. :) * Thu Jan 11 2001 A.L.Lambert - 1.0.4 pre-release started. Hopefully nothing major in this release. - - First change, modification of the lt_fmtcheck() function to fix some - format mismatch problems on RedHat 7.0. See logtool/regex.c for the - specifics. (thanks to Laurent Jacquot for pointing this out) - - Fixed two minor compilation problems on AIX. - 1. Getopt returns int, and I was reading it as a char: fixed - 2. AIX defines 'regex', which clashed with the struct I will be - using to hold regex strings: fixed - (thanks to Thanh Ma for pointing these two things out to me) * Wed Jan 11 2001 A.L.Lambert - 1.0.3 release 'officially' declared ready to go. No new changes since - the comments below, just some e-mail feedback from the folks testing the - changes indicating that everything seems to be working fine. - * Tue Jan 10 2001 A.L.Lambert - Updated version to 1.0.3 to reflect changes below. Still waiting to hear - back from the folks that are testing these changes. They should work, - but until I know for sure, the 1.0.3 release should be considered BETA, and - subject to change without version number incrementation prior to public - release. - - Wrote a really ugly configure script to handle the SCO vs everything else - differences. (at this point, it just copies the appropo logtail.*.c file to - logtail.c, and initializes the main Makefile) - - Made some changes to the logtool/Makefile to build only the objects/binaries - by default (reported problems with OpenBSD 2.8's 'make' not building library - correctly). Also added a "make lib" option so that anyone wishing to have - the library can build it. (really, who needs the library for this?) - - Later that night: - - Ying-Chieh Liao pointed out some "features" in the logtool/Makefile, which - I have now fixed. (see, I told you I might change it before the official - release) ;) - - Report from Andreas Östling on the OpenBSD changes looks good. - - Sanitized e-mail addresses in this file, since it gets displayed on the - website (I'd hate to think some spammer snagged the e-mail addresses of - the nice folks who've helped me out from my website). * Fri Jan 05 2001 A.L.Lambert - Updated to fix the missing symlink to /usr/bin/lt. - Included the changes suggested from Thomas Hagar listed below * Fri Jan 05 2001 Thomas Hager - replaced cp with install in %install * Thu Jan 04 2001 A.L.Lambert - Various fixes so's it will compile under the original cc-compiler from - SUN (Solaris 2.6). Thanks to Christoph Krempe - for pointing out the problems, and working with me on fixes. Christoph - should also get credit for pointing out the bug in the includefile - functionality that was fixed below. - - It compiled - It worked for me - I shipped it. :P * Fri Dec 29 2000 A.L.Lambert - Working on fixes for Solaris (why did I expect this?) for version 1.0.2 - - So far, I've done the following: - Tested with removing the strncasecmp() decl - seems to work fine - Removed the getopt_long() and related stuff, and use only getopt() - - Waiting on report back from Christoph Krempe on the success/failure - of these steps. * Thu Dec 28 2000 A.L.Lambert - Big OOPS! The includefile functionality was broken! I have no idea how I - missed this the first time around, but it's fixed now. Updated version to - 1.0.1 * Tue Dec 26 2000 A.L.Lambert - Woohoo! 1.0 release is good to go (as far as I can tell)! - - Documentation is still a bit shabby, but it's better than some I've seen. - Still some things in the TODO list that I'd like to get done Real Soon Now. - - But all in all, all the features are in place, they all work flawlessly as - far as I can tell (famous last words of a programmer :), and as they say in - GNU land; "It works for me." - - Later that day: - - Modified the getopt.c stuff to allow for specification of an alternate - config file instead of being stuck with the system defaults. - - Fixed a minor bug in the ansi.c module (color display thing) - - Updated CREDITS and a few things in doc/logtool.txt * Mon Dec 25 2000 A.L.Lambert - Now have a working program! WooHoo!! - - I lied about not messing with it till the 27'th. - - I think most all of the back-end code is done (cfg file reader, getopt, etc) - ANSI, ASCII, RAW, and CSV output modules are completed (more/less), and - everything test's OK, even with bizare/broken input. Probably some buffer - overlows in here somewhere, but this program is not/will not be SUID, so I - don't think that's too big a deal (and will never happen unless users muss - up the config file really badly or overdo the REGEX string files). - - Still TODO - Write the HTML 
, and HTML  output modules
-	Change the way we do REGEX's (need to compile the paterns once, not 
-		every time).
-	Documentation, Documentation, Documentation.  :(
-	Clean up the code some more so I won't be quite so embarrassed when I 
-	release this thing.  :)

* Sun Dec 24 2000 A.L.Lambert 
- Came up with idea, and commenced work on getting this thing ready for 
- distribution
-	Code is about half written at this point, but should progress
-	relatively quickly (I type way too fast).
-
-	Anciliary stuff (Makefile's, .spec file, etc.) is pretty much done.
-	
-	Documentation is basically un-started (although this program ain't
-	likely to need a rocket scientist to run it).
-
-	I have to go to bed so's I can be fresh for Christmas, so no more work
-	will likely be getting done until around the 27'th.
