Logwatch
Logwatch analyzes and reports on system logs. It is a customizable and pluggable log-monitoring system and will go through the logs for a given period of time and make a customizable report. It should work right out of the package on most systems.

Hi Kirk,
I am unable to access the site as well. Is there any way that
you would consider hosting the site from a standard url? I
think you really restrict the audience for this tool when
people can't easily access the documentation for your
project. I can even offer you a free virtual shared host
account if that would help.
How to add custom log?
I have a firewall log made by my perl script and rotating by logrotate. I would like to add that log to the logwatch daily emails. How can I do so?

What gives? The site has been unaviliable for some time. Kirk tried you e-mail @ kaybee and it failed as well. Is the project still on? Is everything ok?
Site checked from multiple locations most of which were naked (not filtered - firewalled).
Thanks!
Re: Site down?
I'm behind a firewall that blocks port 81. Is there any way the site could be moved somewhere else? How about sourceforge or savannah?

Nope, still going strong, although I forgot to put our latest release out here. The site runs on port 81 due to my ISP's restrictions and my guess is your company blocks port 81 HTTP traffic.
