Introduction Welcome to the Windows port of Logcheck (now called LogSentry), the famous UNIX log processing tool. Psionic was bought by Cisco who has moved the cool Abacus tools, including LogSentry, to http://sourceforge.net/projects/sentrytools/ As you probably know if you are bothering to read this, LogSentry helps spot problems and security violations in your logfiles automatically and will send the results to you in e-mail. However, it can only work with what it’s given. I personally find the Windows Event Logs to be verbose, yet un-informative. So when you get e-mailed messages with three or 4 lines on arcane gibberish, remember that it’s the same information as you would see in the Event Log, except it’s in a slightly different format, and you are actually SEEING it! (Of course, you would have reviewed the Event Logs anyway, right?) :-)
