EXPORT

None by default.

Note that this section is somewhat incomplete. More documentation will come later.

    new() - The constructor

    Start() - Begins tailing log files and signaling events.
    Terminates by entering the Net::Peep::Client->MainLoop() method.

    loop() - The callback called by the Net::Peep::Client->MainLoop()
    method.  See Net::Peep::Client for more information.

    parse(@text) - Callback given to the Net::Peep::Client->parser() method
    which parses the logparser client config section of the Peep
    configuration file.

    addEvent($event) - Adds a Net::Peep::Client::Logparser::Event
    object to an array.

    events() - Retrieves an array of

CHANGE LOG

$Log: Logparser.pm,v $ Revision 1.11 2001/10/02 19:09:44 starky Removed superfluous event() and events() method.

Revision 1.10 2001/10/01 05:20:05 starky Hopefully the final commit before release 0.4.4. Tied up some minor issues, did some beautification of the log messages, added some comments, and made other minor changes.

Revision 1.9 2001/09/23 08:53:49 starky The initial checkin of the 0.4.4 release candidate 1 clients. The release includes (but is not limited to): o A new client: pinger o A greatly expanded sysmonitor client o An API for creating custom clients o Extensive documentation on creating custom clients o Improved configuration file format o E-mail notifications Contact Collin at collin.starkweather@colorado with any questions.

Revision 1.8 2001/08/08 20:17:57 starky Check in of code for the 0.4.3 client release. Includes modifications to allow for backwards-compatibility to Perl 5.00503 and a critical bug fix to the 0.4.2 version of Net::Peep::Conf.

Revision 1.7 2001/07/23 20:17:44 starky Fixed a minor bug in setting groups and exclude flags from the command-line with the logparser.

Revision 1.6 2001/07/23 17:46:29 starky Added versioning to the configuration file as well as the ability to specify groups in addition to / as a replacement for event letters. Also changed the Net::Peep::Parse namespace to Net::Peep::Parser. (I don't know why I ever named an object by a verb!)

Revision 1.5 2001/06/04 08:37:27 starky Prep work for the 0.4.2 release. The wake-up for autodiscovery packets to be sent is now scheduled through Net::Peep::Scheduler. Also modified some docs in Net::Peep slightly.

Revision 1.4 2001/05/07 02:39:19 starky A variety of bug fixes and enhancements: o Fixed bug 421729: Now the --output flag should work as expected and the --logfile flag should not produce any unexpected behavior. o Documentation has been updated and improved, though more improvements and additions are pending. o Removed print STDERRs I'd accidentally left in the last commit. o Other miscellaneous and sundry bug fixes in anticipation of a 0.4.2 release.

Revision 1.3 2001/05/06 21:33:17 starky Bug 421248: The --help flag should now work as expected.

Revision 1.2 2001/05/05 19:25:53 starky Bug 421699: Logparser now stops searching the regex list after the first match is found.

Revision 1.1 2001/04/23 10:13:19 starky Commit in preparation for release 0.4.1.

o Altered package namespace of Peep clients to Net::Peep at the suggestion of a CPAN administrator. o Changed Peep::Client::Log to Net::Peep::Client::Logparser and Peep::Client::System to Net::Peep::Client::Sysmonitor for clarity. o Made adjustments to documentation. o Fixed miscellaneous bugs.

Revision 1.9 2001/04/17 06:46:21 starky Hopefully the last commit before submission of the Peep client library to the CPAN. Among the changes:

o The clients have been modified somewhat to more elagantly clean up pidfiles in response to sigint and sigterm signals. o Minor changes have been made to the documentation. o The Peep::Client module searches through a host of directories in order to find peep.conf if it is not immediately found in /etc or provided on the command line. o The make test script conf.t was modified to provide output during the testing process. o Changes files and test.pl files were added to prevent specious complaints during the make process.

Revision 1.8 2001/04/04 05:40:00 starky Made a more intelligent option parser, allowing a user to more easily override the default options. Also moved all error messages that arise from client options (e.g., using noautodiscovery without specifying a port and server) from the parseopts method to being the responsibility of each individual client.

Also made some minor and transparent changes, such as returning a true value on success for many of the methods which have no explicit return value.

Revision 1.7 2001/03/31 07:51:34 mgilfix

  Last major commit before the 0.4.0 release. All of the newly rewritten
clients and libraries are now working and are nicely formatted. The server
installation has been changed a bit so now peep.conf is generated from
the template file during a configure - which brings us closer to having
a work-out-of-the-box system.

Revision 1.7 2001/03/31 02:17:00 mgilfix Made the final adjustments to for the 0.4.0 release so everything now works. Lots of changes here: autodiscovery works in every situation now (client up, server starts & vice-versa), clients now shutdown elegantly with a SIGTERM or SIGINT and remove their pidfiles upon exit, broadcast and server definitions in the class definitions is now parsed correctly, the client libraries now parse the events so they can translate from names to internal numbers. There's probably some other changes in there but many were made :) Also reformatted all of the code, so it uses consistent indentation.

Revision 1.6 2001/03/30 18:34:12 starky Adjusted documentation and made some modifications to Peep::BC to handle autodiscovery differently. This is the last commit before the 0.4.0 release.

Revision 1.5 2001/03/28 02:41:48 starky Created a new client called 'pinger' which pings a set of hosts to check whether they are alive. Made some adjustments to the client modules to accomodate the new client.

Also fixed some trivial pre-0.4.0-launch bugs.

Revision 1.4 2001/03/27 00:44:19 starky Completed work on rearchitecting the Peep client API, modified client code to be consistent with the new API, and added and tested the sysmonitor client, which replaces the uptime client.

This is the last major commit prior to launching the new client code, though the API or architecture may undergo some initial changes following launch in response to comments or suggestions from the user and developer base.

Revision 1.3 2001/03/19 07:47:37 starky Fixed bugs in autodiscovery/noautodiscovery. Now both are supported by Peep::BC and both look relatively bug free. Wahoo!

Revision 1.2 2001/03/18 17:17:46 starky Finally got LogParser (now called logparser) running smoothly.

Revision 1.1 2001/03/16 21:26:12 starky Initial commit of some very broken code which will eventually comprise a rearchitecting of the Peep client libraries; most importantly, the Perl modules.

A detailed e-mail regarding this commit will be posted to the Peep develop list (peep-develop@lists.sourceforge.net).
