Hi all,
A vender supplied a large Perl program that uses the Log::Agent module
to log a great deal of information to rotated files. Right now I have
a program that parses these log files periodically to change the state
of our systems based on what the Perl program is doing. This is
awkward and problematic for me, and I'd like to do something
different. What I'd like to do is have the Log::Agent module not only
log the messages to a file, but send them to a server (which I would
write) over the network using IO::Socket. This looks like it would
work as Log::Agent support IO::Handle and IO::Socket is derived from
that. However, that's about as far as I've gotten as I'm not a Perl
programmer at all, though I am a programmer. Can anyone help me out
and point me in the right direction to do this kind of thing? Any
guidance would be appreciated!
Thanks,
Doug
