NAME

afick_learn - a tool to learn from log and adapt Afick's configuration

DESCRIPTION

afick_learn the main idea is to have a customized configuration to avoid any dummy warning : the default configuration is to be adapted, but do it may be painful if the afick output is big. So, this tool will learn from detected changes and modify configuration to suppress some fields. It works only from from 'changed' lines in afick logs : the "new" and "deleted" lines are ignored.

Attributes changes are removed from afick config : if you have a rule such "foo md5+p+u+g" and afick log show an md5 change, afick_learn will change the rule into "foo p+u+g"

if the log show show the change of all asked attributes, the file is excluded
