sosyslog, a modular syslog forked from MSyslog
sosyslog is a logging subsystem for UNIX operating systems.
It replaces the traditional UNIX logging daemon, syslogd, with an improved version that provides capabilities for log centralization, preservation of log integrity, and storage on a myriad of popular database engines.
sosyslog, which is a modular syslog, has a very flexible architecture that allows the administrator to configure it to receive log data from several input sources such as TCP and UDP network connections, UNIX named pipes and plaintext files.
Log data storage is available through multiple output options including plaintext files, MySQL and PostgreSQL database engines or Oracle (don't know if it works).
Log relaying can be performed over TCP sessions or the traditional UDP-based syslog protocol.
sosyslog also supports filters that perform cryptographic integrity checks and filtering by regular expressions.
sosyslog runs on a variety of UNIX and Linux operating systems.
Improvments
- Improvment of om_pgsql to avoid bad sql escaping, now using PQexecParams instead of PQexec
- om_regex no longer segfaults with -v
- some backports from 1_09devel, replace all free() and close() by macros, avoiding errors
- im_linux works on Linux 2.6...
- Web Frontend for database plugins, see Saucisse Log below.
