November2008Meeting
Wed. November 12th, 6:53pm at FreeGeek -- 1731 SE 10th Ave.
Speaker: Gabrielle Roth
Topic: A Sitter for Cisco Syslogs
Syslog is a handy troubleshooting tool, but only if you actually read what's logged. I wrote a Cisco syslog parser & reporter as part of our network fault-management system. We'll go over:
- network management basics
- why we needed this specific tool
- why I created my own tool from scratch instead of using an off-the-shelf solution
- how I did it & what the results were, and
- what I'm going to do next.
You don't need to be a Cisco engineer or even know much Perl to get something out of this talk.
As always, the meeting will be followed by social hour at the LuckyLab.
