Bayesian Tail

Posted by timothy on from the seek-novelty dept.

flok writes "We all know anti-spam-software using Bayesian filtering. The results with these are amazingly good. So that made me thinking: why not create a tool which monitors logfiles and determines using a Bayesian filter what events to display and what not? That's why I created btail. Btail is just that: it monitors a logfile and filters it with a Bayesian filter. The results are above my own expectations!"

    Better be careful to train the filter about those warnings that don't happen very often, but when they do, you really want to know about them.
