All management, control, and other functions are supported through the Web interface.
php syslog viewer 7.2.0
php syslog viewer is a free web application written in PHP for viewing and searching system logs stored in a MySQL database. more>>
Good system administrators review the logs from each system they administer. As the number of systems gets bigger, this becomes a more complex and time consuming task. Eventually the system administrator would like a way to combine the log messages from all of the systems into one central location, but that is not enough. Without a good search facility, finding the information the system administrator needs is like finding a needle in a haystack.
This is where php syslog viewer comes to the rescue. Using a few common Free Software tools (syslog-ng, stunnel, MySQL, apache, and php), php syslog viewer provides a total solution for centralized logging and log management. Client systems send their log files to a server which stores them in a database. php syslog viewer provides the system administrator with a view into that database. php syslog viewer also includes a tool for optimizing searches and archiving older data so that it takes up less room on the disk.
php syslog viewer is Free Software licensed under the GNU GPL (version 2 or later) as published by the Free Software Foundation.
Main features:
- Log Searching
- Real Time Log Viewer
- Automatic Log Rotation
- User Authentication Possibilities
- LDAP
- Active Directory
- Built-in Authentication
- 3rd Party Client API (outputs XML)
- OSI Certified Open Source Software
- Log Archiving

- merging of changes to the configuration files is not done on a file-by-file basis, but can be triggered at any time.

Synapse M1
Synapse is an ESB engine built completely on the Web Services standards on top of Apache Axis2. more>>
It is a mediation framework for Web services that allows messages flowing through, into, or out of an organization to be mediated, including aspects such as logging, service lookup, performance mediation, versioning, failover, monitoring, fault management, and tracing.
Synapse is an effort undergoing incubation at the Apache Software Foundation (ASF), sponsored by the Web Services PMC.
Incubation is required of all newly accepted projects until a further review indicates that the infrastructure, communications, and decision making process have stabilized in a manner consistent with other successful ASF projects.
While incubation status is not necessarily a reflection of the completeness or stability of the code, it does indicate that the project has yet to be fully endorsed by the ASF.
We have released a first Milestone M1. The release will supports:
- Simple mediation based on regex and xpath rules
- Onbound routing of messages
- Deploy simple Java mediators to perform logging, routing, message transform etc
- XSLT transformation of messages
- HTTP Proxy support
- Stages and in/out handling of messages
mod_log_rotate 1.0
mod_log_rotate is an automatic in-process rotation of transfer log. more>>
If you host a lot of virtual servers on a single Apache box and use the supplied rotatelogs program to rotate the logs you’ll notice that your process table is cluttered up with an instance of rotatelogs for each virtual server.
With mod_log_rotate the log rotation is handled by the server process so you save a bunch of processes and file descriptors.
Installation:
Install mod_log_rotate using apxs as follows:
$ apxs -i -a -c mod_log_rotate.c
Configure:
Load and enable mod_log_rotate by adding two lines to your httpd.conf. For Apache 1.3 use
LoadModule log_rotate_module libexec/mod_log_rotate.so
RotateLogs On
and for Apache 2 use
LoadModule log_rotate_module modules/mod_log_rotate.so
RotateLogs On
The LoadModule line may have already been added if you used the apxs -a (activate) option when compiling the module.
If you are using the Apache 1.3 version of the module you will also have to replace any CustomLog, TransferLog, LogFormat and CookieLog directives with the corresponding RotateXXX version. For example
TransferLog logs/access_log
would become
RotateTransferLog logs/access_log
You may need to review the permissions on your log directories. Normally Apache creates log files while it’s running as root and then becomes nobody (or whatever user you’re running it as) before it starts serving pages. In order to be able to create new log files during rotation the permissions on any log directories need to allow writes by the web server user.
The remainder of the directives provided by mod_log_rotate control the interval and timing of log rotation. The configuration directives may be used globally or per virtual server.
