Log Alerter
-
Version
1.0
Log Alerter watches your log files for specified
keywords. When a keyword is found, it can send e-mail,
open a program or play a sound. It is designed as an
Intrusion Detection System for web servers, but can be
used as a log analyzer to find the critical words or
phrases in log files.
It supports IIS log formats but it can be used with
any log format by specifying the log delimeter used in
the log file. This makes Log Alerter more flexible to
work with any log format. Also Logging, Reporting and
Printing sections make Log Alerter more user friendly.
Especially web servers which are secured by service
packs, pathces, firewalls or other protection systems
can not prevent intrusions. Every day a new hole is
found and we must always follow the latest patches in
order to keep our servers secure. However, there is
not a patch for a hole everytime or patch for that
hole can be released too late. Log Alerter gives alert
when an intrusion is detected whether or not the patch
is installed. This gives you the chance to make the
appropriate action immediately. My suggestion is,
follow the latest patches and service packs and take
the necessary precautions all the time and use Log
Alerter to make sure you're really safe.
Log Alerter can also be used to analyse your log files
and to create useful reports from your logs. This is a
cumbersome job if you don't have a tool lile Log
Alerter. Because there are thousands of lines to
investigate.
There is no such tool around that works as an alerter
and analyzer. This tool is a complementary security
and analysis tool that you should own.
