The Generic Log Adapter provides a way to read any log, monitor it for events, extract information from those events, and output the results. It provides an architecture that enables you to customize the components that provide these functions. An earlier tutorial showed you how to create a very basic component, an outputter that sends events to Standard.out. Now you'll see how to create a sensor component that checks for events reported through e-mail and an outputter that sends an e-mail notification if it finds any.

Prerequisites

The prerequisites for taking the tutorial are a general understanding of autonomic computing and moderate experience with the Java programming language. You should also download and install the GLA and all its required components. The Eclipse installation included with the GLA is used as the development environment. You should also have read the "Create GLA Components" tutorial.


System requirements

Before downloading the GLA, you must install Version 1.4.x of the Java Runtime Environment (JRE).
