Re: log rendering in real time in audit-viewer
Hello,
Hello Miloslav, and all the guys!
We use audit-viewer for events monitoring.
Unfortunately, if some log is rather big it takes to much time for
audit-viewer to parse and render it.
Besides, we need to render log updates in real time, i.e. when a new line
appears in a log, it should appear in a viewer too.
Can you suggest the better way to extend audit-viewer to meet these
requirements?
Well, write the code? Something like inotify could be useful. There isn’t any hidden
switch to enable these features, if that is what you are asking.
As for performance, I may have missed something but I think I have squeezed as much as can
be done with Python; improving performance further would very likely require a C
extension.
(audit-viewer is a PyGtk2 application, and at I’m afraid I don’t currently have plans to
port it to GTK+3/gobject-introspection or do any other non-trivial work on the project, at
least in the near term.)
