SNMP-LogParser

The SNMP-LogParser is one component script that allows to access log file information via SNMP.

The logparser script is used to incrementally parse log files. The idea is that the log parser is invoked from Unix cron updating a stats file that could then be tied easily into Net-SNMP (see http://www.net-snmp.org) by using the SNMP-MibProxy module.

This module has bit of learning curve, you need to learn the methods of the base class B<SNMP::LogParserDriver> and then implement an inherited class of it to the parsing that you need.

Once you've learned it, you can do quick deployments of SNMP info gathered from log files.
