Question How can i parse my Unix log files??

Hello,

i would like to parse Unix log files and i would like to use a Unix syslog analyzer.
I'm going to use Eucalyptus and i would like to parse its log files.

Is there any open source/free syslog parser??

Thanks, in advance!

I guess it is pretty trivial to get the syslog() elements. Are you parsing the application message content, or just the syslog headings?

Google brings up several, some in PERL:

Thank you very much for replying,
i would like to read the error parts inside the logs or the Warnings, or sentences like "Could not open ..."

So, i was thinking of log_analysis or logwatch.

What is your opinion??
