A few months ago I finished an application to quickly manage the logs generated on my network. Not wanting to use any commercial application, I decided to code one myself, entirely from scratch.Still on development but highly usable. The name is still on moderation: NBLogs.

This app uses an existing SQL database to store, reads and stores the databse to display graphs, statistics and logs themselves. It allows to search and filter logs to get a clearer view of what happens on the network. Definitely more human readable than the raw log files.

Operation is as follows:

  • Devices are configured to send logs to “Kiwi Syslog Server”. This program allows us to format logs and store it directly to a database server.
  • NBLogs reads the database and shows queries, stats and graphs with the content.

More detailed information will be posted. By the time here are some screenshots:
