PHPloghost

PHPloghost is a valuable web-based application that simplifies the process of system logging management. When dealing with a single system or logging all data into one file, there is no issue. However, arranging logging data from separate hosts into individual files, potentially split by date, can be a cumbersome task. This creates difficulty for reviewing logs in their entirety and identifying problems within the entire server park.

PHPloghost is designed to be an addition to standard industry tools that address these issues. It serves as the final stage of the logging cycle, delivering a comprehensive, web-based interface for viewing the results of the process. Key features of the software include a Google-like search functionality, and the ability to search through a day, week, month or year. Users can also add filters to their search and search for a specific application or Syslog facility.

Dynamic views are available, which allow users to select logging for a specific day, log level, application or facility. Minimum system requirements include PHP 4.3.x, Syslog-NG 1.6x and MySQL 4.0.x. PHPloghost is most helpful in managing system logs with multiple hosts and files, and it helps organizations achieve a more thorough understanding of logging data across systems.
