generating useful reports from raw log files from various
services. Currently, <span class="application">Lire</span> can generate reports for a
variety of email, web, dns, ftp, print servers and firewalls, and
supports multiple output formats. <span class="application">Lire</span> is developed by the
Stichting LogReport Foundation, more information about the project can be
found on <a class="ulink" href="http://www.logreport.org/" target="_top">http://www.logreport.org/</a>.
</p><p><span class="application">Lire</span> is built around the concept of a
<em class="firstterm">superservice</em>. A superservice is a
class of applications which share the same reports. <span class="application">Lire</span>
supports many superservices like dns, email, firewall, ftp,
print and www.
This means that log files for all supported email servers
(<em class="firstterm">service</em> in <span class="application">Lire</span>'s parlance) will
get similar reports. This is important for heterogeneous
environments where you could have e.g. <span class="productname">Sendmail</span>™ and <span class="productname">Postfix</span>™
mail servers running. You will get similar reports which
you can compare.
</p><p><span class="application">Lire</span> is also very modular. Most of its features are
based on plugins. For example, each output formats and
log formats are supported via a plugin. If you can program
<span class="application">perl</span>, it is very easy to develop a plugin. You should
consult the <em class="citetitle"><span class="application">Lire</span> Developer's Manual</em> for all the information.
</p><p><span class="application">Lire</span> can be used as a log database system (called a
<em class="firstterm">DLF Store</em>). In this setup you
configure periodical importation of log data and periodical
generation of reports from that log data.
</p><p>There are also commands that can be use to generate,
mege and formats reports on an on an ad-hoc basis.
</p><p>The <span class="application">Lire</span> distribution also includes a bunch of shell
scripts which enable to set up an online responder system.
In this setup, the <span class="application">Lire</span> system receives emails containing
log files from other hosts and sends generated reports back
by email. Optionally, the log files can be anonymized before
being sent.
