Recommendations for managing log files
Hey everyone!

I have a Debian LAMP server that I've set up, and I'm looking for a package that will help me manage and sort through my log files. Basically I want something that will check my log files for me, and notify me via email about anything that merits further examination. Any recommendations?

Syslog server | Syslog-ng
Splunk > IT Search Company | It's not just Log Management anymore
the second option is pretty cool
