+logtool (log analyzer)
+
+Logtool is a command line program that will parse ASCII logfiles into
+a more palatable format. It will take anything resembling a syslog
+or multilog file (this includes syslog-ng, and probably most of the
+other variants out there), and crunch it into one of the following
+formats for your viewing pleasure:
+
+ * ANSI (colorized for easy "at a glance" viewing)
+ * ASCII (for e-mail'ed reports, and term's that don't support color)
+ * CSV (for importing into your favorite spreadsheet/database)
+ * HTML (for generating web pages)
+ * RAW (for no good reason)
