Hi there. My name is Radcliffe Robinson. I am a second year computer science student at the University of the West Indies, Jamaica. I actually first became interested interested in syslog-ng as a potential user while searching for a more palatable logging and log processing solution (something for sophisticated than ctrl+f) for a billing system a partner and I built in C to accompany the Asterisk pbx system at our internship. I had some time ago read about a company that logged all messages and controlled all their systems through a web server (localhost/product/restart to restart a service, localhost/product/logs?query=query to view logsm etc) and was searching for a similar way to send log messages from the billing software directly to the web-server i built to interfaces with customer database, where i would then do filtering and grouping etc of the log messages. It is for this reason that i am particularly interested in your project idea to create a websocket destination for syslog-ng. Syslog-ng already possess the filtering and grouping functionality, leaving only the act of implementing the websocket source. This something i could directly apply to an existing product of mine. However my passion for user interface design and extensive experience with web development draws my interest towards your idea for a drag and drop web interface for creating syslog-ng configuration files, purely because of the novelty of the idea and the opportunity to supersize some creative and aesthetic competency, a relatively rare experience in my short professional life as a developer. The more consideration i give to this idea, and the further i read through the admin guide, the more difficult a task it reveals itself to be but i have already devised a few possible solutions and began designing the database schema to facilitate it, and am confident that it is within the scope of my competency to create a useful and well designed web solution. I will be running these ideas by the project's mentor to seek feedback. I expect to end up sending in applications for multiple of the gsoc ideas the syslog-ng team has posted as they are the most interesting set of ideas which align well with my skill set that i have found. Thus, if given the opportunity, i look forward to working with the team this summer. Best regards, Radcliffe.
