[syslog-ng] Building a syslog server (syslog-ng) with GUI

[Yu Watanabe]

Hi all!

I am planning to build a syslog server using syslog-ng,
however, not using the configuration drivers of syslog-ng.
Instead, I want to use a third party GUI that has a
filtering function and would be better if can set
actions for each fitlering. The reason for using
other GUI is that because configuration file is getting
bit complex.

So, the story is make syslog-ng gather the logs and
send it to database ( such as mysql ). The the thrid
party GUI do the filtering.

Cacti - camm plugin is one of my candidates.

It would be helpful if people in this mailing list can
give us some recommendation for the GUI.

Thanks,
Yu

We are using Splunk to collect/store/display our syslogs.

http://www.splunk.com/

They have a free edition which will receive up to 500 megabytes of data per day, and provides a really nice way to look through the syslogs.

Thank you!

Of course, there's LogZilla (www.logzilla.pro) which has been around for
about 10 years (used to be called php-syslog-ng).

Peter Czanik has written a good summary and comparison of such GUIs a
couple of months ago which summary covers a lot of the suggestions
others sent:

http://czanik.blogs.balabit.com/2011/12/graphical-user-interfaces-for-use-with-syslog-ng/

Also, a shameless plug: if you're interested in commercial offerings,
drop me a mail off-list -- we here at BalaBit sell such a
"syslog-ng-as-an-appliance-with-a-webGUI" product called syslog-ng Store
Box, which can be just what you need.

greets,
Peter
