For SEC related questions, you may want to post to their mailing list.<br><br>But what I do is use syslog-ng to take in my syslogs and send to specific files, depending on my needs.&nbsp; I start SEC as a service and it uses the various syslog-ng files as input (sec option -input).&nbsp; 
<br><br>So you start SEC with all the appropriate options and a config file.&nbsp; SEC watches the syslog-ng file as it's being written to and monitors for matches based on your SEC config file.<br><br>HTH,<br>Chris<br><br><br>

So... I'm look at these applications and trying to figure out how best<br>to implement them - does anyone have thoughts?<br><br>I guess I haven't read enough of the man page yet, but I'm still not<br>even sure how the SEC config file works (what you put into it)! But,
<br>both apps look promising - and the SEC page mentions another tool I'm<br>going to check out as well...<br>_______________________________________________<br>syslog-ng maillist&nbsp;&nbsp;-&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href="mailto:syslog-ng@lists.balabit.hu">
