A new logging system is designed to replace the UNIX logging daemon syslogd. The logging subsystem is capable of capturing and storing system logs for analysis and debugging.
Modular Syslog is a logging subsystem designed for UNIX operating systems that promises to replace the traditional UNIX logging daemon, syslogd. Improved functionalities are offered in this version that include superior capabilities for log centralization, preservation of log integrity, and storage on popular database engines.
Modular Syslog boasts of an incredibly flexible architecture that is aimed towards the ideal end-user experience. The administrator can configure this architecture to receive log data from sources such as TCP and UDP network connections, UNIX named pipes, and plaintext files. The variety of input sources makes it easy to upload log data into Modular Syslog.
Output options provided under Modular Syslog are just as diverse as the input options mentioned. Log data storage is available through plaintext files, MySQL, and PostgreSQL database engines. Log relaying can be performed over TCP sessions or the more traditional UDP-based syslog protocol.
Further, Modular Syslog filters perform cryptographic integrity checks and enable filtering by regular expressions. These filters make it easier for the administrator to spot out anomalies by filtering logs for privileged access and events that require more scrutiny.
Modular Syslog runs on Mac OS X and on a variety of UNIX and Linux operating systems. One great advantage is the fact that Modular Syslog is licensed and provided under the terms of the BSD license, making it easy to use for personal and commercial use cases.
