Syslog2 is an syslogd's realtime parser and event handler. Event is a message from some service. It uses much simplified plugin system to add event handlers. Syslog2 written in Perl.

This is how to run the program:

cd /path/to/workdir && ./syslog2.pl

Algorithm

Syslog2 uses event based model.

Algorithm:

Syslog2 reads next message from syslogd, and parses it at four parts:

1. time
2. hostname
3. service
4. text of message

After this Syslog2 invokes handlers, which registered for this service. Handler invoked with four parameters: time,hostname,service,text of message.

What's New in This Release:
add some feathures to install.pl script (remove already installed Syslog2; start Syslog2 after installation.
