oak

System Log Reporting Tool

Oak is a program that can be used to monitor syslogs from a collection of servers and notify operators when problem conditions arise. In addition to providing immediate notification of critical problems oak will also batch less critical problems into summary messages that can be sent less often and via any medium. For example you may wish to have oak page you on critical events while sending a summary of less important messages to your terminal once an hour. In addition you could send a daily email message summarizing all events.
