Special Forums UNIX and Linux Applications Infrastructure Monitoring Centralized linux system log analyzer?! Post 302566409 by Neo on Thursday 20th of October 2011 10:03:49 AM

My experience is that zabbix is more flexible than logzilla... and neither is really what I would call 'great' for analysis.

Remember, collecting, aggregating and filtering "events" is not really "analysis"; and neither is simple "event triggering" based on simple pattern matching rules.

When I look at logzilla (as in zabbix), I don't see any analysis capabilities; only aggregation, filtering, and simple rule based pattern matching. This is really not "analysis" in my view.

For example, "analysis" would be a software process that can detect, from Apache2 log files, when an IP address is a "bot" (web spider) without looking at the user agent (UA). This is not easy in the general case and requires some pretty sophisticated analysis over time.
