=head1  DESCRIPTION

B<Swatchdog> is designed to monitor system activity.
In order for B<Swatchdog> to be useful, it requires a configuration file
which contains I<pattern(s)> to look for and I<action(s)>
to perform when each pattern is found.

=head1 COMMAND LINE OPTIONS

=over 4

=item B<--awk-field-syntax>

Use this option only if you want to override regular expression backreferencing
in favor of B<awk(1)> style field referencing. Included for backward 
compatibility.

=item B<--config-file|-c> I<filename>

Tells B<swatchdog> where to find its configuration file. The default
is I<${HOME}/.swatchdogrc>.

=item B<--daemon>

This tells B<swatchdog> to run in the background and disassociate itself from 
any terminal.

=item B<--extra-include-dir|-I> I<path>

This tells B<swatchdog> where to look for custom I<action> modules.

=item B<--extra-module|-M> I<module_name>

This tells B<swatchdog> what custom I<action> modules to load in.

=item B<--help|-h>

Prints usage information and exits.

=item B<--input-record-separator>=I<regular_expression>

Tells B<swatchdog> to use I<regular_expression> to delineate
the boundary of each input record. The default is a carriage return. 

=item B<--old-style-config|-O>

This tells B<swatchdog> that your configuration file is written using the
syntax that was abandoned back in the 1990's.

=item B<--pid-file> I<file>

Writes the process ID to I<file>. Useful when running in daemon mode.

=item B<--restart-time>=I<[+]hh:mm[am|pm]> or B<-r> I<[+]hh:mm[am|pm]>

Restart at the specified time where I<hh> is hours and I<mm> is minutes. 
If the am/pm indicator is omitted, then a 24-hour clock is assumed. 
If the time is preceded by the "+" character, then the restart time 
will be set to the current time plus the specified time and the am/pm
indicator will be ignored.

=item B<--script-dir>=I</path/to/directory>

This switch causes the temporary watcher script to be written to a file
in the specified directory rather than the user's home directory. It is
highly advised that you do B<NOT> use directories that are writable by others
such as /tmp.

=item B<--tail-args> I<arguments_for_tail_program>

Pass specific options to the B<tail(1)> program.

=item B<--tail-program-name> I<filename>

Runs an alternate B<tail(1)> like program instead of the system default.

=item B<--version> or B<-V>

Prints version information and exits.

=item B<--use-cpan-file-tail>

Use CPAN's File::Tail module to read the log file instead of the tail(1) 
command.

=back

You may specify only one of the following options:

=over 4

=item B<--tail-file>=I<filename> or B<-t> I<filename>

Examine lines of text as they are added to filename. 

=item B<--read-pipe>=I<command> or B<-p> I<command>

Examine input piped in from the I<command>. 

=item B<--examine>=I<filename> or B<-f> I<filename>

Use I<filename> as the file to examine. 
B<Swatchdog> will do a single pass through the named file. 

=back

The following options are purely for debugging purposes, but are
documented here for completeness:

=over 4

=item B<--debug>[=I<level>]

Spew out various levels of debugging for swatchdog developers.

=item B<--dump-script>[=I<filename>]

Instead of running the watcher script after it is generated, 
it is written to I<filename> or to STDOUT.

=back 

If swatchdog is called with no options, it is the same as typing the 
command line

	swatchdog --config-file=~/.swatchdogrc --tail-file=/var/log/syslog

or if /var/log/messages exists

	swatchdog --config-file=~/.swatchdogrc --tail-file=/var/log/messages

=head1 THE CONFIGURATION FILE 

The configuration file is used by the B<swatchdog(8)>
program to determine what types of expression patterns to look for
and what type of action(s) should be taken when a pattern is matched.

Each line should contain a keyword and a, sometimes optional,
value for that keyword. The keyword and value are separated by 
a space or an equal (=) sign.

watchfor regex

ignore regex

=over 4

=item B<echo [modes]>

Echo the matched line. The text mode may be I<normal>, I<clear>, I<reset>, I<bold>
I<underline>, I<underscore>, I<blink>, I<reverse>, I<concealed>, I<black>, I<red>
I<green>, I<yellow>, I<blue>, I<magenta>, I<on_black>, I<on_red>, I<on_green>
I<on_yellow>, I<on_blue>, I<on_magenta>, I<on_cyan>, I<on_white>. The <on_> colors
specify a highlighting color. Some modes may not work on some terminals. B<Normal>
is the default.
For B<modes> changes and additions check perl module Term::ANSIColor man page.

=item B<bell [N]>

Echo the matched line, and send a bell I<N> times (default = 1).

=item B<exec command>

Execute I<command>. The I<command> may contain variables which are 
substituted with fields from the matched line. A I<$N> will be replaced
by the I<Nth> field in the line. A I<$_> will be replaced by the entire
line. Variable I<$0> will show the name of the executed script.

=item B<mail [addresses=address:address:...][,subject=your_text_here]>

Send I<mail> to I<address(es)> containing the matched lines as
they appear (default address is the user who is running the program).

Note that the @ sign in the email addresses must be escaped with a
backslash, like "user\@example.com".

=item B<pipe command[,keep_open]>

Pipe matched lines into I<command>. Use the B<keep_open> option to 
force the pipe to stay open until a different pipe action is run or 
until swatchdog exits.

=item B<write [user:user:...]>

Use B<write(1)> to send matched lines to I<user(s)>.

=item B<throttle hours:minutes:seconds,[key=message|regex|<regexE>]>

This action has been depreciated. Use B<threshold> instead
For example,

=over 4

throttle 15:00,key="foo"

=back

would look like this

=over 4

threshold track_by="foo",type=limit,count=1,seconds=900

=back

=item B<threshold track_by=key, type=<limit|threshold|both>, count=number, seconds=number>

Thresholding can be done for the complete B<watchfor> block and/or for
individual actions. Add "threshold=on" as an option along with the other
threshold options when thresholding an individual action.

=over 4

=item B<track_by> 

The value of this should be something that is unique to the B<watchfor>
regular expression. Tip: enclose unique parts of the regular expression
in parentheses, then use the sub matches as part of the value 
(e.g. track_by="$2:$4").

=item B<type>

There are three types of thresholding. They are as follows:

=over 4

=item B<limit>

Perform action(s) for the first "B<count>" matches during the
time interval specified by "B<seconds>",
then ignore events for the rest of the time interval (kind of like throttle)

=item B<threshold>

Perform action(s) on each match for up to B<count> matches during the 
time interval specified by B<seconds>

=item B<both>

Perform actions(s) once per time interval after "B<count>" matches occur,
then ignore additional matches during the time interval 
specified by "B<seconds>"

=back

=back

=item B<continue>

Use this action to cause B<swatchdog> to continue to try to match other
pattern/action groups after it is done with the current pattern/action
block.

=item B<quit>

Use this action to cause B<swatchdog> to clean up and quit immediately.

=back

=head1 SPECIAL OPTION

The following may be used as an option for any of the above actions except for throttle and threshold.

=over 4

=item B<when=>I<day_of_week:hour_of_day>

Use this option to specify windows of time and days when the action can 
be performed. 
For example:

=over 4

mail=sysad-pager@somehost.somedomain,when=1-6:8-17

=back

=back

=head1 FOR PERL HACKS ONLY

=over 4

=item B<perlcode> [I<depth>] arbitrary_Perl_code
 
This permits you to easily insert random Perl code into your swatchdogrc file.
The optional depth value tells swatchdog how deep into the code to put the perl 
code. (0=outside the main loop, 1=inside the main loop (default), 2=just inside the 
conditional used by the current watchfor statement, and 3=inside the throttle
block).

Its intended use is to permit variable substitution. For example:

=over 4

perlcode $syslog="^\w{3}\s+\d{1,2}\s+\d{2}:\d{2}:\d{2}.*";
 
watchfor /$syslog hostname pppd/>
 
=back

but any valid Perl is permitted.  Remember the semicolon, and make judicious
use of the B<--dump-script> option if you run into trouble.

=back

=head1 CONFIGURATION EXAMPLE

=begin text 

perlcode my $fsf_regex = '\d{2}:\d{2}:\d{2}\s+(.* file system full)';

watchfor /$fsf_regex/
    threshold track_by=$1,type=limit,count=1,seconds=60
    echo
    bell

=end text

In this example, a line which contains the string "file system full" will
be echoed and the screen bell will sound.  Also, B<threshold> will use what 
is matched within the parentheses as its key rather than trying to use the 
log message with its time stamp cut out. Multiple instances of
the message will not be echoed if they appear within a minute of the 
first one. Instead the following message will be acted upon after 
the time interval has expired.  

=head1 SEE ALSO

B<signal(3)>, B<perl(1)>, B<perlre(1)>

=head1 NOTES

Upon receiving an ALRM or HUP signal swatchdog will re-read the
configuration file and restart, except when used with the I<--daemon> 
command line option where it will simply exit.
Swatchdog will terminate gracefully
when it receives a QUIT, TERM, or INT signal.
