Does anyone know of a good gui log analyzer for the /var/log/messages file? I’d like to either download the file and view it on a separate machine or even have it stream to a database that I can view similar to Snort/ACID/Mysql work.

The reason for this is its insane trying to filter through all of the tcp/udp drops in the messages file to find other issues. Also it’d be nice to be able to monitor it easily on a regular basis. I’d even be willing to setup a monitoring station for it. Any thoughts?

Thanks,

That would be pretty cool as a feature of NodeWorx (cough cough 🙂 )
