A system that can free up my time as a sysadmin. Automating tasks that are time consuming. -All daemon messages are processed by scripts. Alerting me to potential problems. Disk space, cron errors, failed logins, etc. This could be local or centralized. -Syslog is processed centrally for the same reasons as above. If I dump things into a mysql DB, i think I could run reports easier and faster. -Realtime alerting on syslog. I haven't found anything that will do this through mysql, I may have to go strictly with log file parsing for this. (swatch, logcheck, etc) -Report generation. Suits like reports. I can justify my existence by producing meaningful reports. I have more ideas, but that is the basics. SysAdmin Magazine has an interesing article about automating system status and tasks via email. This coudl be dangerous, but the author seems to have thought of most everything. It isn't available on the web, so sorry no link. I have done extensive searching and I can't find anything like this that is already done and available. (Open Source) Some of the things are available in parts. Is anyone aware of some kind of app/script to automatically pull data from mysql and perform actions based on events? That is core to what I am doing and I can't find examples. Some of this is out of scope of the list, but log analysis is key to the entire goal.
