LogAgent is a piece of software made in Perl designed to monitor ascii log files and redirect any change made to it to a central location. The purpose of this is to add flexibility in some security (or other) applications on the choice of destination folder for the log files. The ability to specify your own destination folder for log files could be a crucial requirement in your specification for a security software, and good products can be overlooked simply because they lack this single feature. LogAgent tries to fill that gap by monitoring the log files on the local machine, and then redirects any new line appended to it to the destination of your choice, either on another folder on the same machine or to a remote server for network-wide log file centralization.
