WOTS

WOTS is a tool for monitoring logging output from multiple sources, and then generating actions and reports based on what is found in these logs. The original was written by Tony Curtis, but this version was updated from 2004 until now by Franky Van Liedekerke. Usually, this program is used to monitor and report towards nagios.

What is new in this release:

• The integrated Perl implementation of send_nsca works with nagios 3, accompanied by 2 new config parameters: 'nscapassword' and 'nscaport'.
• Samhain logfiles can generate alerts to their respective client servers in Nagios, and be limited to only one alert per polling period, preventing an overflow of passive NSCA messages to a Nagios host when e.g. updates have been done.

What is new in version 2.2:

• Many new features have been added.
• It can now run as a Unix daemon and run on Windows and be installed as a service.
• Extra actions are possible.
• Memory leaks have been plugged.

Requirements:

• Perl
