Lire, the french word for `to read', is a toolset of logfile analysers. The Lire package is targeted at automatically generating useful reports from raw log files from various services. Currently, Lire can generate reports for a variety of email, web, dns, ftp, print servers and firewalls, and supports multiple output formats. Lire is built around the concept of a superservice. A superservice is a class of applications which share the same reports. Lire supports 6 superservices: dns, email, firewall, ftp, print and www. This means that log files for all supported email servers (service in Lire's parlance) will get similar reports. This is important for heterogeneous environments where you could have e.g. Sendmail and Postfix mail servers running. You will get similar reports which you can compare. Notes: - PDF output can be enabled if you follow the instructions coming with "make pdf" - Excel output only works if you have Perl 5.6.1 WWW: www.logreport.org
