Example

var options = {
  global: {
    port: 22,
    username: 'root',
    privateKey: './path/to/global/privatekey',
    logs: [
      '/var/log/ufw.log'
    ]
  },
  hosts: [
    {
      host: 'host-1.example',
      privateKey: './path/to/host-1.example/privatekey',
      logs: [
        '/var/log/snort/snort.log'
      ]
    },
    {
      host: 'host-2.example',
      port: 2222,
      username: 'iamroot',
      privateKey: './path/to/host-2.example/privatekey',
    },
    {
      host: 'host-3.example',
      password: 'secret-sauce',
      logs: [
        '/var/log/iptables.log'
      ]
    }
  ]
};

usage

Once you have a good configuration with at least one defined host to monitor usage is easy.

Example

var cherubum = require('proginoskes');

cherubum.proginoskes(options, function(err, data) {
  if (err) throw err;

  console.log(data);
});

returned object

The returned object(s) are simple, but makes it easy to determine source.

Example javascript [ { server: 'server-1', log: '/var/log/ufw.log', data: 'Jan 9 07:24:12 node kernel: [UFW BLOCK] IN=eth0 OUT= MAC=52:54:00:12:34:56:52:55:0a:00:02:02:08:00 SRC=192.168.2.8 DST=10.0.2.15 LEN=44 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=64 ID=1593 PROTO=TCP SPT=60948 DPT=443 WINDOW=8760 RES=0x00 SYN URGP=0' }, { server: 'server-2', log: 'access-logs/some-site.com', data: 'xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx - - [09/Jan/2015:08:23:13 -0600] "POST /wp-cron.php?doing_wp_cron=1420813393.8197140693664550781250 HTTP/1.0" 200 - "-" "WordPress/4.0.1; http://some-site.com"' } ]
