Audiolog in realtime scans logfiles and the output of debug or trace programs
like tcpdump. A small configuration file assigns regular expressions to
arbitrary sound effects.What is so special about Audiolog is its small latency with that
the acoustical signals are produced. This feature makes it very useful for monitoring real time traces
like those during an analysis of network traffic. Unlike with optical perception humans are able to process acoustical
signals very fast and detect certain patterns or derivations from normality
without attentiveness. The current version of Audiolog is neither mature or free
from bugs. But it is usable. We will gladly receive proposals for improvements. System requirements:
Linux and GNU development tools. Audiolog produces sounds making use of /dev/dsp and should
therefore not be too difficult to port to other Unix-like operating systems supporting that device. |
