Sldb serves as the embedded database specifically designed for syslog, offering efficient management and storage capabilities.
If you're looking for an embedded database solution for your syslog, Sldb may be the answer. It's designed to capture log messages and store them in a disk-backed database. Not only that, but it also sorts these messages by user-defined subjects, making it easier to find specific information.
One thing Sldb does particularly well is manage excess messages. If your database gets too full, it will automatically prune messages on a first-in, first-out basis, keeping your system streamlined and efficient.
Recently, Sldb has seen some upgrades that are worth mentioning. The "configure.in" and "Makefile.am" files have been cleaned up, making it easier to configure and install the software. Additionally, a new "sldbcat" query agent has been added to the mix. This feature builds if glib is available, and it allows you to search through your database for specific entries.
Perhaps most excitingly, the latest release includes a new "example" directory. This directory includes a patch to sysklogd 1.4 (plus a sample config file) that enables Sldb. If you're struggling to get started with Sldb, this resource could be incredibly helpful.
Overall, Sldb is a reliable and efficient choice for anyone looking for an embedded database for syslog. With user-defined subjects, automated message pruning, and new updates to make it easier to use, it's definitely worth considering.
