Source: logcheck Section: admin Priority: optional Maintainer: Debian logcheck Team Uploaders: Jose M Calhariz , Mathias Gibbens Standards-Version: 4.6.2 Build-Depends: debhelper-compat (= 13) Build-Depends-Indep: docbook-to-man Rules-Requires-Root: no Vcs-Git: https://salsa.debian.org/debian/logcheck.git Vcs-Browser: https://salsa.debian.org/debian/logcheck Package: logcheck Architecture: all Depends: adduser, lockfile-progs, default-mta | mail-transport-agent, mime-construct, cron | cron-daemon, logtail, ${misc:Depends} Recommends: logcheck-database (>= ${source:Version}) Enhances: rsyslog, system-log-daemon, systemd Suggests: rsyslog | system-log-daemon Description: check the system log for unusual entries Logcheck analyses the system log for unuexpected entries that could indicate problems or security issues. . Log entries in the system log (produced by systemd-journald, rsyslog or another system-log-dameon) are checked against a customisable database of regular expressions (such as that provided by the logcheck-database package) to identify routine messages: anything that does not identified as routine is reported to the system administrator. . Logcheck was originally part of the Abacus Project of security tools, but has been rewritten. Package: logcheck-database Architecture: all Multi-Arch: foreign Depends: ${misc:Depends} Enhances: logcheck Description: database of system log rules for logcheck This package brings a database of regular expressions for matching system log entries. It is part of Logcheck, but might be used by other log checkers. #Package: logcheck-database-extra #Architecture: all #Depends: ${misc:Depends} #Description: database of more common system log rules than logcheck-database # This database is part of the Logcheck package, but might be used by # others. It brings a database of regular expressions for matching # very common system log entries that do not belong to # logcheck-database. This entries for example match common startup and # stop messages of daemons. Package: logtail Architecture: all Depends: perl:any, ${misc:Depends} Enhances: logcheck Description: Identify new lines added to the end of log files Each time logtail and logtail2 are run on a file they print lines added since the last run. . They can be used by log checkers, such as logcheck, to identify new entries in log files. . This package provides both logtail and logtail2. The latter is better suited to log files that may be rotated between runs: if logtail2 finds that the inode of the file changed, it tries to find the file it was rotated from using customisable heuristics. If it finds the file, it will new find lines added to the old file as well as to the new file.
