Log normalization happens when collecting logs from different sources (servers, network equipments, applications etc.). Since all logs sources are using different formats and vocabularies to report events, the idea is to have a set of rules to describe what modifications you want to do and the conditions to check. Normalizing your logs means you ensure they will all follow a common standard. Pierre -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
