must: A More Useful Syslog Test tool
A syslog message generator that replicates real syslog messages
Screenshots
Description
Using templated message formats with customisable placeholders, must allows more intelligent testing of syslog receivers with realistic data, as well as longer soak testing and stress testing.
must was created to fill a gap found when trying to stress test Splunk as real, indexable and meaningful data was needed.
must will (eventually) be provided as a standalone tool that uses XML configs (for quick use and consultancy etc) and as a web-based tool (for more permanent/pretty deployment (with historical reporting and live stats).
