SPLUNK is a free Linux/Solaris server that lets you search all your
log files. Here's the url and access code:
http://www.splunk.com?ac=kilroy
It's helpful for anyone who manages unix boxes to search and
troubleshoot all of their log files, including syslog, Apache, Jboss,
mysql, oracle, router data, etc. It parses and indexes in real time.
If you have to deal with log files and/or troubleshooting, it's worth
checking out. Up until now sysadmins were forced to use grep and ad
hoc scripts.
GREP is totally fine for small, simple, local files, but grep doesn't
work on 20GB of log files, across a dozen servers; doesn't group
multiline log messages together; doesn't unify timestamps across
files; doesn't automatically find related log events; doesn't show
histograms of log events; doesn't search gigabytes in seconds; doesn't
have a cool ajax web interface similar to google. You get the idea.
Both are free, though -- they do have that in common.
