Hi!

What about a logstalgia for postfix logs as well?

Cheers!

Great program!!! 
Will be good ability to read any log file (mysql, syslog, etc.) and display data
using config file - what to parse, what to bounce, codes, points, colors etc.

Bump for lighttpd compatibility, but as someone else suggests a generic log file
parser might be a better addition. I'd suggest a regexp to parse out the 
following
data from each line of an arbitrary pipe...

* date and time
* from (IP or string = left-hand X position determined via custom function?)
* to (IP or string = right-hand X position determined via custom function?)
* generic latency time (milliseconds = speed of ball)
* size (bytes = size of ball determined by log, lin or exp function?)
* Code (int = ball colour defined by lookup table?)

...and then some sort of mechanism for custom attributes? Unfortunately I can't
program in C but I can build you a spec file and RPM for Fedora 9...

here's a working model for sendmail logs this is already doable without any 
changes
to logstalgia and just a little perl glue.  I have sendmail logs here, but I 
think
you could modify the included perl to work just fine with postfix, or anything 
else
really.. the trick is that the custom log file will read 1 line at a time for a 
whole
record, so your glue must consolidate multiple lines in to 1 

logstalgia includes the ability to use custom log files and custom grouping... 
so
what I've done here is make the remote host the "from", the path the "to", the 
user
agent the subject ... it would be nice to give "user agent" a different name on 
the
command line, but no a big deal really

the whole command line will become:

tail -f /var/log/maillog | sendmail_to_logstalgia.pl | ./logstalgia -g
'Incoming','tempstop.(com|net|org)',49 -g 'Outgoing','.*',49 --sync

where 'tempstop.(com|net|org)' is the regex that matches your incoming email 
addresses

Nice.

Perhaps it could treat the first row of the log as headings if the first entry 
on the
first line is not numeric.

Also maybe if the log isn't specifically Apache, the labels should be more 
generic.
