LMon

Anders Nordby released his new tool, LMon.

LMon is a package for near real-time monitoring of logs, sending e-mail
alerts upon known (rule hits) or unknown data (rule misses).

Features:

- Buffer multiple rule hits within a given interval, cap at a given maximum
number of lines, wait for a given interval before sending next alert.

- Auto-discovery of log rotation.

- Simplicity. LMon can run from the command line without configuration, or
be controlled from a central configuration file with multiple instances
monitoring different log files/sending alerts to different people. It is very
much intended to be simple (Keep It Simple, Stupid).
