Open Source Linux Logging Software

Flogger - a Free Logger. An easy to use and easy to customize logging library that works on a wide range of operating systems. Write your log entries effortlessly and efficiently to the console, to a file, to a data base or to some other source.

An implementation of the Model-View-Controller (MVC) design pattern based on the Jakarta Struts Framework. Includes a core library (Horizon), a servlet container (Stratus), and a Server Pages Engine (Phase). Resembles the J2EE web container environment.

COMPAS J2EE is a non-intrusive performance instrumentation and monitoring toolkit for J2EE. It uses adaptive monitoring to automatically adjust the target coverage. COMPAS is completely portable across J2EE application servers and OSs.

DBD2 inserts database records from TCP input. It is a companion project to Syslgod2 and an application in its own right. It ships with a backgrounding client for generic use. The client sends whatever information the user puts on the command-line to the back-end daemon via TCP. Upon successful transmission, the client exits. On failure, it backs off and retries until its life-time timer expires. The back-end daemon accepts data from Syslogd2 or its own client and inserts that data (and envelope information) into one or more databases using MySql client library or dbi drivers (also on SourceForge). The client needs no configuration (all input is via command-line). It is intended for hosts to make database entries without needing database client or interface code. Syslogd2 integration allows DBD2 to act as Syslogd2's database back-end for MySql and other databases supported by the dbi drivers. Original purpose was to track Linux cluster job status but other uses exist.

A easy to use memory debugger lib for C++ projects. Tracks and logs (if desired) memory allocations, deallocations, memory leaks. A support template class is also provided to check for memory invasions in dynamically allocated memory using operator [].

Shadowtail is a Java/Spring framework for gathering numerical data (statistics) about a Java application. It is particularly useful as a source of data to feed Orca, the free tool for plotting textual data onto a directory on a Web server.

A simple C++ logging system. It is modeled loosely after log4j.

Using templated message formats with customisable placeholders, run in configurable sequences that can selectively reuse data between steps, must allows more intelligent testing of syslog receivers with realistic data, as well as longer soak testing and stress testing. must was created to fill a gap found when trying to stress test Splunk as real, indexable and meaningful data was needed. must will (eventually) be provided as a standalone tool that uses XML configs (for quick use and consultancy etc) and as a web-based tool (for more permanent/pretty deployment (with historical reporting and live stats).
