Hi all!
I am planning to build a syslog server using syslog-ng, however, not using the configuration drivers of syslog-ng. Instead, I want to use a third party GUI that has a filtering function and would be better if can set actions for each fitlering. The reason for using other GUI is that because configuration file is getting bit complex.
So, the story is make syslog-ng gather the logs and send it to database ( such as mysql ). The the thrid party GUI do the filtering.
Cacti - camm plugin is one of my candidates.
It would be helpful if people in this mailing list can give us some recommendation for the GUI.
Peter Czanik has written a good summary and comparison of such GUIs a couple of months ago which summary covers a lot of the suggestions others sent: http://czanik.blogs.balabit.com/2011/12/graphical-user-interfaces-for-use-wi... Also, a shameless plug: if you're interested in commercial offerings, drop me a mail off-list -- we here at BalaBit sell such a "syslog-ng-as-an-appliance-with-a-webGUI" product called syslog-ng Store Box, which can be just what you need. greets, Peter
