You should take great pride in this program but you need to be honest about 
what it can achieve. Your program uses syslog which cannot solve "all" 
multi-line message issues. If we can't do it in automation products with all 
information available, then you can't completely solve it with minimal 
information. There's a reason why some automation products provide the ability 
to process secondary messages as single messages, single message related to the 
primary message or as a complete MLWTO.

I suspect that for most people, your solution will meet the needs for most 
people but they should always keep in mind that if something doesn't feel 
right, then they need to dig deeper.

As an alternative, OPERLOG gives you much of the information seen by automation 
products but remember there will still be a few situations not easily solvable 
and operlog overhead may outweigh its benefits. In addition, OPERLOG requires 
the use of a program interface.
