# Hatchet README # v 0.9 # Jason Dixon # http://www.dixongroup.net/hatchet/ # # NOTE: All documentation is in the docs directory. # Hatchet is a log parsing/presentation program written for OpenBSD's PF logs. The main script, "hatchet", should be run every 15 minutes, or as often as you wish. Depending on the size of your logfiles versus the speed of your machine, you may wish to tweak how often it runs. Hatchet uses a series of Perl regexes to match entries from the pflog logs. The log entries are stored in a SQLite database file, allowing for highly dynamic queries and statistics. If it finds one it doesn't have a match for, it will kick off an email to the system administrator (root@localhost) with the details. This setting can be modified in the configuration file (hatchet.conf). Thanks for trying out Hatchet. Please email me with your feedback, compliments, etc. - Jason Dixon
