Open Source Solaris Logging Software

smartmontools contains utility programs (smartctl, smartd) to control/monitor storage systems using the Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology System (S.M.A.R.T.) built into most modern ATA and SCSI disks. It is derived from smartsuite.

ANSI C functions and macros for flexible logging to files and other destinations. It is modeled after the Log for Java library (http://www.log4j.org), staying as close to their API as is reasonable. Intended for use in time-space critical environments

Ettercap is a multipurpose sniffer/interceptor/logger for switched LAN. It supports active and passive dissection of many protocols (even ciphered ones) and includes many feature for network and host analysis. Development has been moved to GitHub, https://github.com/Ettercap/ettercap

syslog-ng is the log management solution that improves the performance of your SIEM solution by reducing the amount and improving the quality of data feeding your SIEM. With syslog-ng Store Box, you can find the answer. Search billions of logs in seconds using full text queries with Boolean operators to pinpoint critical logs. syslog-ng Store Box provides secure, tamper-proof storage and custom reporting to demonstrate compliance. syslog-ng can deliver data from a wide variety of sources to Hadoop, Elasticsearch, MongoDB, and Kafka as well as many others. syslog-ng flexibly routes log data from X sources to Y destinations. Instead of deploying multiple agents on hosts, organizations can unify their log data collection and management. syslog-ng Store Box provides automated archiving, tamper-proof encrypted storage, granular access controls to protect log data. The largest appliance can store up to 10TB of raw logs.

A complete OpenSource Network Management System Is SNMP-Standard Oriented (tested on Cisco and Linux). It Integrates Syslog, Tacacs, RRDtool (Performance Graphs), Maps, Traps, TFTP, Autodiscovery, Sound Alerts, AAA, Modular and Extensible.

nload is a console application which monitors network traffic and bandwidth usage in real time. It visualizes the in- and outgoing traffic using two graphs and provides additional info like total amount of transfered data and min/max network usage.

Rootsh is a wrapper for shells which logs all echoed keystrokes and terminal output to a file and/or to syslog. It's main purpose is the auditing of users who need a shell with root privileges. They start rootsh through the sudo mechanism.

pcapsipdump is libpcap-based SIP sniffer with per-call sorting capabilities. It writes SIP/RTP sessions to disk in a same format, as "tcpdump -w", but one file per SIP session (even if there is thousands of concurrent SIP sessions). Getting started: http://pcapsipdump.sf.net/

Logsurfer is a program for monitoring system logs in real-time, and reporting on the occurrence of events. It is capable of grouping information together to enhance loganalysis and create automatic reports.

logtail is used to monitor log files by tracking and only outputing the log from last time logtail was run, Can handle large files and log rolls.

Flexible web-based firewall log analyzer, supporting netfilter and ipfilter, ipfw, ipchains, cisco routers and Windows XP system logs, and mysql or postgresql database logs using the iptables ULOG or NFLOG target of netfilter others mapped to the ulogd format with a view. Fully supports IPv6 for database logs, and netfilter and ipfilter system file logs. Also supports Maxmind's GeoIP version 2 location databases. For Linux, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, Solaris, OSX,etc.

FW1-Loggrabber is a command-line tool to grab logfiles from Checkpoint FW-1 remotely using Checkpoints LEA (Log Export Api), which is one part of Checkpoints OPSEC API.

NeTAMS - Network Traffic Accounting and Monitoring Software. It is built for UNIX and works for networks with Cisco routers or PC Unix routers (Linux/FreeBSD/Solaris).

sudosh is a sudo shell, filter and can be used as a login shell. Sudosh records all keystrokes and output and can play back the session as just like a VCR.

IP accounting tools package based on Berkeley Packet Filer mechanism. Continue from BPFT by V.Vorobyev, TRAFD by V.Belekhov & S.Svirid. Use the PCAP library to implement connection to bpf kernel pseudo-device.

Lire is a pluggable log analyzer, supporting HTTP, email, DNS, FTP, firewall and print services. Output generated can be txt, (X)HTML, PDF, RTF, and DocBook. The latter four support graphics. For news/support visit the project homepage.

UpClient Logs uptime with uptimes.wonko.com. UpClient sends the time a computer has been running since its last reboot to the Uptimes Project. The server generates individual & aggregate statistics of various operating system & hardware configurations.

ALF, The Automated Logging Framework, is a native logging framework for Java with the unique advantage of supporting automated method tracing. This platform-independent library allows developers to debug their applications quickly without adding code
