Description-en: Generate metrics from logfiles for Graphite and Ganglia
Logster is a utility for reading log files and generating metrics in
Graphite or Ganglia or Amazon CloudWatch. It is ideal for visualizing
trends of events that are occurring in your application/system/error
logs. For example, you might use logster to graph the number of
occurrences of HTTP response code that appears in your web server
logs.
.
Logster maintains a cursor, via logtail, on each log file that it
reads so that each successive execution only inspects new log
entries. In other words, a 1 minute crontab entry for logster would
allow you to generate near real-time trends in Graphite or Ganglia or
Amazon CloudWatch for anything you want to measure from your logs.
