The increase in activity and security threats on Ubuntu server causes the volume of system logs to become very large and difficult to analyze manually. This condition potentially leads administrators to experience delays in detecting abnormal activities, such as repeated login attempts and web access patterns related to online gambling promotions. Therefore, this research aims to develop a machine learning-based Early Warning System capable of automatically detecting anomalous activities. The system is developed using the Python programming language and runs on an Ubuntu server by utilizing authentication logs and web access logs as the main data sources. The anomaly detection model is trained using normal activity data collected directly from the Ubuntu server logs to learn standard system behavior patterns. During the operational phase, the system reads server logs in real-time, extracts activity features, and analyzes them using the Isolation Forest algorithm. Activities detected as anomalies trigger alert notifications via Telegram to the administrator without performing automatic blocking. The results show that the system is able to provide early warnings for suspicious activities, thereby helping to improve server security more effectively.

This study discusses the practice of morning prayer as a form of lived religion within the school culture of a public elementary school. Morning prayer is understood not only as a formal religious activity, but also as a daily ritual that shapes students’ emotional experiences, religious habits, and social interactions. This study aims to explain the empirical practice of morning prayer, the social relationships formed through it, and its implications for religious education and school culture. The research employs a qualitative approach using school ethnography methods. Data were collected through observations, interviews with the principal, Islamic Religious Education (PAI) teachers, classroom teachers, and students, as well as documentation of the school’s religious activities. The findings show that students participate in morning prayer routinely every day before lessons begin, followed by the collective recitation of short surahs from Juz 30. The daily practice of morning prayer gradually becomes a habit for students in starting their learning activities, both at school and at home. Teachers perceive morning prayer as an opening activity for learning, as well as a means of fostering emotional calmness, discipline, and students’ religious character. Students also reported feeling calmer, happier, and more prepared to learn after praying. In addition, the presence of Juz Amma books, Asmaul Husna texts, the school prayer room (mushola), and the habituation of congregational dhuha prayer indicate the institutionalization of a religious culture within the school, even though these practices are not yet fully included in the official schedule. The findings indicate that morning prayer has become part of students’ daily school experience. Through routine collective prayer activities, students gradually develop emotional readiness, discipline, and religious habits before learning begins.
