LMF (Log Monitoring Framework) is a flexible log
monitoring framework that allows the user to match
text from log files using Perl regular expressions
and capturing parentheses. An optional external
command will be executed when a user-specified
number of matches is found within a user-specified
period. In additon to the trigger, the rule can
also have a message associated with it; when the
rule is triggered, that message will be logged to
the LMF log file. Each rule can also have a
duration associated with it; after a rule has been
triggered and the duration has expired, an
optional external command will be run.
