Highly available with I/O handlers to store data for disaster recovery. Granular management of data parsing and routing. Filtering and enrichment to optimize security and minimize cost. The lightweight, asynchronous design optimizes resource usage: CPU, memory, disk I/O, network. No more OOM errors! Integration with all your technology, cloud-native services, containers, streaming processors, and data backends. Fully event-driven design leverages the operating system API for performance and reliability. All operations to collect and deliver data are asynchronous.

CLIChart is for quick summarising and visualisation of data, especially from system logs. It extracts summary data from text files, and generates simple charts from tabular data on the command line (CLI). Charts can be displayed in a window or saved.

LogsGrep is a unique, grep-like utility designed specifically to target log files containing multi-line entries. The primary target is Java log files (Log4J, common, ...), where it is very common to have multiline log entries (for example log entries with a stacktrace). It follows Unix philosophy, does only its primary job and expects its input to be generated by other more advanced tools (tail, cat, type, find...); There is no goal to be compatible with Unix grep. LogsGrep is written in the Java programming langue having performance and low resource usage in mind (no strings, no object creation, stream-processing).

A tool to visualize interactively huge amounts of eventdata. Uses an innovative hierarchical zoomlens scaling from quarters down to 50 ms.

Uberviewer is a java/swt log processor for Uberlogger (a kernel-based observatory). It allows real-time analysis of a remote OS, including process and I/O monitoring. This tool is intended to be helpful for security researchers and malware analysts.

An open source data version repository model based on true INSERT only logic. Contains high performance support for data versioning and history. Enables point-in-time query and CDC sourcing including mapping each change to a transaction.

phpFreeLog is an advanced server logging tool written in PHP. Easy implementation and control allow you to take charge of how and when phpFreeLog will be used. Edit how the log will look through use of its built in scripting language and modular system.
