Log file parser, which sends the contents of log files to a centralized Sentry server. Meant for periodic execution via cron.
So far the config format is quite simple. It currently looks like this: :: DEBUG=True
- RAVEN = {
'dsn':'<RAVEN_DSN_URL>',
}
# List of files to monitor and their associated formatters FILE_FORMATTERS = { '/var/log/syslog': ('formatters.base.SysLogDateFormatter', 'formatters.base.SysLogProcFormatter',),
- '/var/log/auth.log': ('formatters.base.SysLogDateFormatter',
'formatters.base.SysLogProcFormatter',),
'/var/log/apache/error.log': ('formatters.web.ApacheErrorLogFormatter',),
}
PyLogWatch will automaticall create a SQLite database in the folder where the Config File resides.
To start pylogwatch simply use the '-c' switch to indicate the path to the configuration file:
pylog.py -c /path/to/pylogconf.py
Keep in mind that PyLogWatch uses a regular Python file as a configuration. This means that giving write access to the config file is equivalent to giving execuion privileges for custom Python code. Keep your configuration files adequately protected
