I think what you are looking for is logcheck or a similar package. Logrotate only saves and compresses old log files. ~-amaya@io>apt-cache search logcheck logcheck - mails anomalies in the system logfiles to the administrator logcheck-database - database of system log rules for the use of log checkers Other ones you might want to check out: epylog - New logs analyzer and parser glogg - Smart interactive log explorer using Qt4 gnome-system-log - system log viewer for GNOME But from your description of what you are looking for, logcheck is what you want :) > Maybe it would be better to set up splunk or somesuch?
