}
},
'formatters': {

}
Don't forget to create the tables for your database

# python manage.py migrate
Usage
-----
Setup your logfiles, search patterns and actors in the admin backend.
To run one (scan all logfiles for patterns) just call the ``scanlogfiles`` management command.
.. code-block:: bash
python manage.py scanlogfiles
You can use ``alogator_cli`` to check the log files in a project. Simple add paths to settings files as arguments. Be aware that you have to run the project, so you need to first activate your virtualenv if you have one.
.. code-block:: bash
# if you have a virtualenv
. /path/to/env/bin/activate
alogator_cli /path/to/project/settings.py
To run this continously you could setup a cronjob. For example, to run this every other minute use
.. code-block:: bash
crontab -e
Than add
.. code-block:: bash
*/2 * * * * /path/to/your/manage.py scanlogfiles
You may have to activate your virtualenv depending on your setup.
TODO
----
* Customizable temporary working dir instead of /tmp
* Customizable subject, eg. [Alogator] (to filter inbox)
* Add "To mute this actor, visit..." in message/email.
