[syslog-ng] a bit [offtopic] but may not. syslog search solution for free

[Pal, Laszlo]

Hi,

Our new central syslog collect&store system are almost complete and finally
it is based on Syslog-ng OSE. The only issue I want to solve, is how to
present those logs to the users. Originally I thought it would be enough if
they will get the directories as NFS exports and they can use their
favourite grep to search files, but I thought maybe I can implement some
more user friendly solution.

In the planning phase of the project, I've tested various solutions
including Graylog, ELK and of course I'm aware of the beauty of SSB :) ,
but all of these solutions are too expensive for this project.

Then I thought maybe if I forward the logs to some database (SQL or noSQL)
I can try to find some very simple frontend for that DB provides a simple
search interface for those logs. Nothing fancy is required, but AD auth
should be an option.

I'm sure I'm not the only one facing this issue, so I hope someone in the
community can share some previous experience on this

Thanks
Vlad
