A comprehensive Syslog solution designed for Java, enabling the logging of system and application events. Provides extensive customization options and streamlined setup for efficient logging and analysis, helping developers to monitor and troubleshoot their systems with ease.
Syslog4j is a powerful Java tool that provides users with an entire implementation of Syslog, providing both client and server implementations of the BSD Syslog protocol, as outlined in RFC 3164. Users will benefit from a variety of client protocols including UDP, TCP, TCP over SSL/TLS, Native Unix syslog, and Unix socket, and server protocols such as UDP, TCP, and TCP over SSL/TLS.
This software is free and licensed under the LGPL 2.1 - a fully acceptable Open Source license as stipulated by the OSI. Syslog4j offers a POJO (Plain Ol' Java Object) implementation, meaning that no frameworks are required, making it an ideal choice for developers who want to avoid unnecessary hassles.
Users can enjoy UDP, TCP, and TCP over SSL/TLS implementations without having to download external libraries or JARs. However, Unix syslog and Unix socket support will require one JAR from the Java Native Access (JNA) project. The software features an extensible coding model - this makes customization extremely straightforward. TCP and TCP over SSL/TLS implementations can run under separate threads, while pooled TCP and TCP over SSL/TLS connections are also available with the Apache Commons Pool.
The "BackLog" capability is designed to ensure that logging failures are properly handled, providing a reliable and efficient performance. Syslog4j is compatible with JRE/JDK 1.4 and higher and has undergone numerous JUnit tests, with EclEmma being used for code coverage analysis.
Additional features of this software include support for appending sequential numbers, checksum values (CRC32/Adler-32), hashes (SHAx/MD5), and cryptographic signatures (HMAC). Users will benefit from integration into Apache Log4j via the Syslog4jAppender, and can even benefit from support for PCI DSS audit logging as per section 10.3 for the PCI DSS 1.2 specification.
Finally, Syslog4j is compatible with syslogd, syslog-ng from BalaBit IT Security, and other syslog servers, making it a versatile and comprehensive tool that can streamline any Java-based software development project.
