A Log File Monitoring script

Uses:

1. PHPMailer to send emails with the logs as attachments
2. Commando for CLI parameter management.

---

Usage:

List the Help: php log_monitor.php --help

Add "[email protected]" to the array of To Addresses: php log_monitor.php --to '[email protected]'

Replace the default email address array with "[email protected]": php log_monitor.php --overrideTo --to '[email protected]'

Replace the log list found in the config with the single file found at "path/to/log.file":
php log_monitor.php --logname 'path/to/log.file'

Replace the globList found in the config with the single glob() pattern "path/to/*.file":
php log_monitor.php --glob 'path/to/*.file'

Override the "age" used by the config: php log_monitor.php --age [n] (where [n] is an INT in seconds)

Short aliases

• -l in place of --logname
• -g in place of --glob
• -t in place of --to
• -a in place of --age
• -o in place of --overrideTo

All parameters are optional and can be used together.

Please notice the difference in behavior between the two:

• --logname REPLACES the entire log file list found in the config
• --glob REPLACES the globList array found in the configs
• --to APPENDS to the end of the "mail to" list found in the config

This difference is intentional. The script as a whole is designed to be run via a cron job. The additional of the command line arguments is to enable it to serve a dual purpose as a single run script.

To force --to as an override instead of additive, you must add the --overrideTo option.

TODOS / Feature Requests:

• Add arguments to override any given config param.
• Log errors occuring on send.
• Read logs and remove "irrelevant" data
• TEST Rebase commits test1
