Logcheck is software package that is designed to automatically run and check system log files for security violations and unusual activity. Logcheck utilizes a program called logtail that remembers the last position it read from in a log file.

Pipe to colour lines produced by syslog-ng and similar programs written to terminal (TTY) or file. The program inserts ANSI escape sequences to colour log lines according to their severity. This means the colouring works when viewed on a terminal or using programs such as "less" or "more". You have to customize syslog-ng to include severity as the first character in each logged line, and to pipe the logged messages through the logcolourer program. You can use the program to colour any file according to digits in the first character of each line. logcolourer can also process lines from the linux kernel, though these normally get routed via syslog-ng anyway.

logconf is a centralised configuration control for logging software. Configurations are included for syslog-ng (multi-host), logrotate, and logwatch; others will be added in future. Adding a new host is as simple as adding a word to a config file.

Logspout is a log router for Docker containers that runs inside Docker. It attaches to all containers on a host, then routes their logs wherever you want. It also has an extensible module system. It's a mostly stateless log appliance. It's not meant for managing log files or looking at history. It is just a means to get your logs out to live somewhere else, where they belong. For now it only captures stdout and stderr, but a module to collect container syslog is planned. Logspout is a very small Docker container (15.2MB virtual, based on Alpine). The simplest way to use logspout is to just take all logs and ship to a remote syslog. Just pass a syslog URI (or several comma separated URIs) as the command. Here we show use of the tls encrypted transport option in the URI. You can tell logspout to ignore specific containers by setting an environment variable when starting your container.
