Metalog is a modern replacement for syslogd and klogd. The logged messages

can be dispatched according to their facility, urgency, program name and/or

Perl-compatible regular expressions. Log files can be automatically rotated

when they exceed a certain size or age. External shell scr ipts (e.g., mail)

can be launched when specific patterns are found.



Metalog is easier to configure than syslogd and syslog-ng, accepts unlimited

number of rules and has (switchable) memory bufferization for maximal

performance.-Metalog is a modern replacement for syslog d and klogd.
