The Named Pipe Log Script allows you to replace a log file with a named pipe attached to a script. The server can then send the log output to a script instead of to a log file. This allows you to do many different things such as:
* log only certain events e.g. failed binds, connections from certain ip addresses, etc.
* log only lines that match a certain pattern
* log only the last N lines - useful for enabling full error log debug levels in production environments
* send an email or other notification when a certain event is detected
The script is written in python, and allows plugins. By default, the script will log the last N lines (default 1000). There are two plugins provided - one to log only failed bind attempts, and one that will log only lines that match given regular expressions.
