log_analysis is a log file analysis engine that identifies and extracts relevant information from recognized log files.
One of the key features of log_analysis is that it eliminates extraneous data that isn't important for analysis, such as routine or error-free daemon operation entries within the logs. Additionally, it recognizes and removes repetitive entries, which often drown out the more pertinent data points.
Log_analysis can recognize unique characteristics of log entries, such as dates, PID, and other application-specific data points. It is designed to remind users to review logs and can only be accessed by a root user for certain operating systems.
Often, reviewing logs for just one day can be a tedious process, but log_analysis makes this easier with its log file analysis engine that quickly extracts relevant data from various types of logs, including syslog, wtmp, and sulog.
If you're someone that works with multiple operating systems and devices, creating individual scripts to handle each of them can be a time-consuming process. With log_analysis, you can save a lot of time and effort as you only need to run one application that handles all of it.
Writing patterns for regular expressions can be a pain, but log_analysis eliminates this through its user-friendly interface designed to make this process easier.
Security is a top priority for log_analysis, and the software does not default to running with root permissions. Instead, users are advised to run it manually or through cron. The program has been designed to avoid using temporary files wherever possible, and it encrypts output data for added security.
Apart from the standard features, log_analysis can also be easily extended through local configurations and modular plugins. The latest release includes a "find" function in the interface, bug fixes, and minor updates.
