What gui to use for syslog-ng logs?

+5 votes
584 views

I have an environment in which I would like to implement a GUI for parsing syslog-ng logs from operating system, application servers and databases. I've heard that Splunk is a good tool but its quite hard to learn.

Are there any valuable alternatives? What are you using and why?

I do not think Splunk is hard. The only downside is that you have to pay money if you index more than 500MB of logs a day.

How many logs/day (in MB) are you expecting?

In GB, the paid license is an option ;)

Which one to use syslog-ng or rsyslog on Linux

I've used syslog-ng for some time. I like it. I have a project in which I need to choose a central logging solution. What are your experiences with rsyslog? Is it more complex to setup than syslog-ng? Or maybe does it have some additional features?

I am also thinking about using some gui tools for log parsing and graphing. May be proprietary/paid. Any suggestions?

MySQL error to syslog

I am running MySQL 5.5.31 on FreeBSD 9.2. I have a web server with a miss-configured service that generates faulty connections. After a while, MySQl blocks any connection from the web server.

At some stage, I had set-up a script that would browse syslog log and look for a string like "Host 'xxx' is blocked because of many connection errors; unblock with 'mysqladmin flush-hosts'" and would then issue a mysqladmin flush-hosts.

But after an upgrade, MySQl stopped reporting to syslog. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

GUI repository browser?

What is a good GUI repository browser (under Linux)?

I've just tried gitk, and it seems to be good enough, except there is no way to save a copy of a file in a commit -- you can *display* it, but you can't save it, as far as I can tell.
