Open Source Enterprise & Log Management
At Open Source Enterprice, Jon Walker covers open source log mangement technologies. From the article ...
" . . . the open source community has been pretty effective in building pieces of log management infrastructure. Syslog-NG enables log collection from Unix servers and network devices, serving as a better replacement for standard syslog daemons than is typically provided by operating system vendors as a primary example of open source excellence., There are also a huge number of simple scripts and small programs such as logwatch, logsentry, and fwanalog that were written by the open source community over the years to handle specific logs or a particular slice of a log puzzle. At times it seems that it was easier for some people to create their own script instead of looking for one online. However, most of these tools focused on Unix and Linux platforms and largely ignored Windows-based systems."
LogLogic's open source efforts and community-related project, LASSO.
One of the recent open source solutions that enables a critical part of log management is Project LASSO, a Windows-based open source software designed to collect Windows event logs, including custom application logs, and provide for the central collection and transport of Windows log data via TCP syslog to any syslog-NG compatible log receivers. Before Project LASSO incorporating Windows server and workstation logs in an overall log management process was extremely onerous.
Available under the Gnu license, Project Lasso is a LogLogic-sponsored and community-supported open source project that promotes rapid development of innovative technologies for monitoring any kind of Windows-based event. It is hosted at SourceForge.
