Add to Preferred Sources

logwitch checks single or rotated log files, either plain text or gzipped. It can work with log4j and gnu/linux system logs.

You configure it to watch for lines in log files that interest you in by creating a simple text file in its config directory.

It emails a daily report to you and timestamps logs so that you do not receive duplicate information.
