LMF

LMF (Log Monitoring Framework) is a flexible log monitoring framework that allows the user to match text from log files using Perl regular expressions and capturing parentheses. An optional external command will be executed when a user-specified number of matches is found within a user-specified period. In additon to the trigger, the rule can also have a message associated with it; when the rule is triggered, that message will be logged to the LMF log file. Each rule can also have a duration associated with it; after a rule has been triggered and the duration has expired, an optional external command will be run.
