Grafana Loki
Multi-tenant log aggregation system inspired by Prometheus
Loki is a horizontally-scalable, highly-available, multi-tenant log aggregation system inspired by Prometheus. It is designed to be very cost effective and easy to operate. It does not index the contents of the logs, but rather a set of labels for each log stream. Unlike other logging systems, Loki is built around the idea of only indexing metadata about your logs: labels (just like Prometheus labels). Log data itself is then compressed and stored in chunks in object stores such as S3 or GCS, or even locally on the filesystem. A small index and highly compressed chunks simplifies the operation and significantly lowers the cost of Loki. Loki supports multi-tenancy so that data between tenants is completely separated. Multi-tenancy is achieved through a tenant ID (which is represented as an alphanumeric string). When multi-tenancy mode is disabled, all requests are internally given a tenant ID of “fake”. -

Osquery
SQL operating system instrumentation and monitoring framework
Osquery is an operating system instrumentation framework for Windows, OS X (macOS), Linux, and FreeBSD. The tools make low-level operating system analytics and monitoring both performant and intuitive. Osquery exposes an operating system as a high-performance relational database. This allows you to write SQL queries to explore operating system data. With osquery, SQL tables represent abstract concepts such as running processes, loaded kernel modules, open network connections, browser plugins, hardware events or file hashes.Osquery queries your devices like a database. Osquery uses basic SQL commands to leverage a relational data-model to describe a device. Frequently, attackers will leave a malicious process running but delete the original binary on disk. This query returns any process whose original binary has been deleted, which could be an indicator of a suspicious process. -

mtail
Extract internal monitoring data from application logs
Extract internal monitoring data from application logs for collection in a time-series database. mtail is a tool for extracting metrics from application logs to be exported into a timeseries database or timeseries calculator for alerting and dashboarding. It fills a monitoring niche by being the glue between applications that do not export their own internal state (other than via logs) and existing monitoring systems, such that system operators do not need to patch those applications to instrument them or writing custom extraction code for every such application. The extraction is controlled by mtail programs which define patterns and actions. Metrics are exported for scraping by a collector as JSON or Prometheus format over HTTP, or can be periodically sent to a collectd, StatsD, or Graphite collector socket. Precompiled binaries for released versions are available in the Releases page on Github. Using the latest production release binary is the recommended way of installing mtail. -

SwiftLog
A Logging API for Swift
swift-log is the official, vendor-neutral logging API for Swift, providing a small, performant core that libraries and applications adopt to avoid logger lock-in. It defines common logging semantics and levels, plus a lightweight façade that backends can implement—so the same application code can run with different logging engines (e.g., OSLog on Apple platforms or custom sinks on servers). The package embraces Swift Package Manager, offers a clean Logger API, and is widely used across the Swift on server and Apple-platform ecosystems. The repo’s release notes and ecosystem links show active maintenance, CI coverage for recent Swift versions, and community-supplied backends. By decoupling the API from any one implementation, swift-log simplifies composition: frameworks can log consistently without dictating the logging stack to end users. It’s a foundational building block for production Swift services, tools, and apps looking for consistent, structured telemetry. -

Consola
Elegant Console Logger for Node.js and Browser
Fancy output with fallback for minimal environments. Consistent command-line interface (CLI) experience. Spam prevention by throttling logs. console uses std in the underlying so calling wrapStd redirects console too. The benefit of this function is that things like console.info will be correctly redirected to the corresponding type. Any instance of consola that inherits the mocked instance, will apply provided callback again. This way, mocking works for withTag scoped loggers without the need for extra effort. Choose between one of the built-in reporters or bring in your own one. By default FancyReporter is registered for modern terminals or BasicReporter will be used if running in limited environments such as CIs. A reporter (class or object) exposes log(logObj) method. To get more info about how to write your own reporter, take a look at the linked implementations. -

Logbook
An extensible Java library for HTTP request and response logging
Logbook is an extensible Java library to enable complete request and response logging for different client- and server-side technologies. It satisfies a special need by a) allowing web application developers to log any HTTP traffic that an application receives or sends b) in a way that makes it easy to persist and analyze it later. This can be useful for traditional log analysis, meeting audit requirements or investigating individual historic traffic issues. Logbook is ready to use out of the box for most common setups. Even for uncommon applications and technologies, it should be simple to implement the necessary interfaces to connect a library/framework/etc. to it. -

Monolog
Sends logs to files, sockets, inboxes, databases and web services
Monolog sends your logs to files, sockets, inboxes, databases and various web services. See the complete list of handlers below. Special handlers allow you to build advanced logging strategies. This library implements the PSR-3 interface that you can type-hint against in your own libraries to keep a maximum of interoperability. You can also use it in your applications to make sure you can always use another compatible logger at a later time. As of 1.11.0 Monolog public APIs will also accept PSR-3 log levels. Internally Monolog still uses its own level scheme since it predates PSR-3. Tidelift delivers commercial support and maintenance for the open source dependencies you use to build your applications. Save time, reduce risk, and improve code health, while paying the maintainers of the exact dependencies you use. Monolog 1.x support is somewhat limited at this point and only important fixes will be done. You should migrate to Monolog 2 where possible to benefit from all the features. -
