Description: ==========
        pylogwatch
        ==========
        Log file parser, which sends the contents of log files to a centralized Sentry server. Meant for periodic execution via cron.
        
        Config
        ==========
        So far the config format is quite simple. It currently looks like this:
        ::
            DEBUG=True
        
            RAVEN = {
              'dsn':'<RAVEN_DSN_URL>',
            }
        
            # List of files to monitor and their associated formatters
            FILE_FORMATTERS = {
                '/var/log/syslog': ('formatters.base.SysLogDateFormatter',
                                    'formatters.base.SysLogProcFormatter',),
        
                '/var/log/auth.log': ('formatters.base.SysLogDateFormatter',
                                    'formatters.base.SysLogProcFormatter',),
        
                '/var/log/apache/error.log': ('formatters.web.ApacheErrorLogFormatter',),
        
            }
        
        
        DB
        ==========
        PyLogWatch will automaticall create a SQLite database in the folder where the Config File resides.
        
        Execution
        ==========
        To start pylogwatch simply use the '-c' switch to indicate the path to the configuration file:
        
            pylog.py -c /path/to/pylogconf.py
        
        Caveats
        ==========
        Keep in mind that PyLogWatch uses a regular Python file as a configuration. This means that giving write access
        to the config file is equivalent to giving execuion privileges for custom Python code. Keep your configuration files
        adequately protected
