Epylog is a syslog parser which runs periodically, looks at your logs,

processes some of the entries in order to present them in a more comprehensible
format, and then mails you the output. It is written specifically for large
network clusters where a lot of machines (around 50 and upwards) log to the
same loghost using syslog or syslog-ng. It is an alternative to a similar
package, called LogWatch.

+The epylog engine should work on most unix systems running
+Python-2.2 and above, although currently the processing modules
+are only written to work with linux (and particularly Red Hat Linux
+series 7 and above).
+However, other unix and linux flavors should work fine,
+as long as they use standard logging facilities and things like PAM.
