Splunk is aimed at much broader level than my scripting. I'm not sure if the same logging input would occur either. I've never used splunk but from what I've read here and there it tries to gather all logs, even across a network for a collection of hosts to uncover problems by observing patterns that kind of scope would allow. I suppose it could be setup for on a smaller scale but I believe its intent is the large scope. What I meant about whether it would gather the same log data, is that the fifo I use is being written to by a rule like *.*, in /etc/syslog.conf which would normally only be called for when debugging operations. I hoped to use it for a finer grain splitting of log messages than syslog.conf or even syslog-ng can do readily. What got me started was seeing certain messages in the logs I don't understand and wanting to collect them right from the system logger as the occurred. I still haven't solved that problem... hehe... too many other things going on right now.. But I started thinking that the fifo reader might be very handy at times, so decided to go ahead and get a good working perl script together. I'm still working on that too, in between several other things I'm involved with. One of the biggest time drains for me is hanging out with my Great, Great grand children. A pair of twin boys that are really a joy to be around. They are just entering there eleventh mnth One is walking pretty well already and the other right behind him. They both have very recognizable personalities already. I don't know who gets the most out of our time together... but I suspect its me. Those two little fellas have captured my heart and then some. _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
