[Fedora-infrastructure-list] Log Monitoring volunteer

[Ahmed Kamal]

Hi,

    I am a volunteer. I would like to start wetting my hands with a priority
2 project. I am interested in the log monitoring project. I'm not sure how I
can be helpful though, especially that such a project does not yet have a
project lead! Unfortunately my Internet connectivity will be a little flaky
during the next 6 days (as I'm travelling) nevertheless, I will try to keep
a regular eye on the mailing list.

Kindly let me know how I can start to get involved (I already have an
account)
Thanks and Best Regards

we need two items setup, from my perspective:

1. epylog setup on the syslog server to handle all of our hosts together
2. awstats setup and logs rsync'd over from webservers for web log
analysis.
   - if you need help on this one let me know - there's some easy ways
to make log
     rsync'ing reasonable.

I actually do have awstats running on fpserv though at present not
available to the public.  (I don't trust awstats)  Since fpserv
doesn't have direct access to the accounting system we either have to
proxypass from the phx servers or figure out how to get the usernames
and passwords over to fpserv.

Hi,

All the log files are now being directed to lockbox their is no need
to rsync'ing also the
epylog just needs to be installed I have been looking at the package
and it would only
need to audit the lockbox logs as all logs are stored there

the apache logs aren't being directed to lockbox, are they?

no, just syslog stuff and nothing outside of the phx colo.  At least
at this point.
