# The sysutils/sec port

## sec-2.6.2 – simple event correlator

## Description

    SEC is a free and platform independent event correlation tool that was
    designed to fill the gap between commercial event correlation systems
    and homegrown solutions that usually comprise of a few simple shell
    scripts.  SEC accepts input from regular files, named pipes, and
    standard input, making it suitable to employ with any application that
    is able to write its output to a file stream.  The SEC configuration is
    stored in text files as rules, each rule specifying an event matching
    condition, an action list, and optionally a Boolean expression whose
    truth value decides whether the rule can be applied at a given moment.
    Regular expressions are used for defining event matching conditions, and
    output events can be produced by executing user-specified shell scripts
    or programs (e.g., snmptrap or mail), by writing messages to pipes or
    files, and by various other means.
