Shorten your time of reading mega bytes of log files! DE 2016-01 Supporting Don HO's NotePad++ see http://notepad-plus-plus.org/ This sources are a dockable pattern search plugin for Notepad++ version 5.1 or later. With this plugin you can search for multiple patterns in any of the opened documents in NotePad++. You may want to tune your search using all fancy tricks from NPP like regular expressions or escaped patterns and give each of the searches different colors. The result will be stored in a dockable window in same ordering as in the origin and a double click allows you to jump to the original position. It is designed to treat log-files of typical size like 60MB. More features can be found in the help dialogue of the plugin. For generating the dll file I use a msdev compiler. If you like to port it to other OSs just let me know your changes and I'll incorporate it. Best Regards, Mattes H.

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. -

ddrescueview
Graphical viewer for GNU ddrescue mapfiles
This small tool allows the user to graphically examine ddrescue's mapfiles in a user friendly GUI application. The Main window displays a block grid with each block's color representing the block types it contains. Many people know this type of view from defragmentation programs. The program is written in Object Pascal using the Lazarus IDE. It can be compiled to run on Windows, GNU/Linux and probably OS X, too. The downloads include binaries for the respective target platform and the project files (source code). Update 2022/02/25: ddrescueview version 0.4.5 has been released. This maintenance release restores compatibility with ddrescue 1.24 and later. Please consider testing this version. Report issues in the bug tracker if you have a sourceforge account, or by email to <mbit-kiel@users.sourceforge.net> -

Google Logging Library
C++ implementation of the Google logging module
Google Logging (glog) is a C++98 library that implements application-level logging. The library provides logging APIs based on C++-style streams and various helper macros. glog supports multiple build systems for compiling the project from source, Bazel, CMake, and vcpkg. glog also supports CMake that can be used to build the project on a wide range of platforms. If you don’t have CMake installed already, you can download it for from CMake’s official website. CMake works by generating native makefiles or build projects that can be used in the compiler environment of your choice. You can either build glog with CMake as a standalone project or it can be incorporated into an existing CMake build for another project. glog defines a series of macros that simplify many common logging tasks. You can log messages by severity level, control logging behavior from the command line, log based on conditionals, abort the program when expected conditions are not met, etc. -

spdlog
Fast C++ logging library
spdlog is a header only library. Just copy the files under include to your build tree and use a C++11 compiler. It provides a python like formatting API using the bundled fmt lib. spdlog takes the "include what you need" approach, your code should include the features that actually needed. For example, if you only need rotating logger, you need to include "spdlog/sinks/rotating_file_sink.h". spdlog provides various log targets, which are, rotating log files, daily log files, console logging (colors supported), syslog, Windows event log, and Windows debugger (OutputDebugString(..)). Easily extendable with custom log targets. Log filtering, log levels can be modified in runtime as well as in compile time. Support for loading log levels from argv or from environment var. Backtrace support, store debug messages in a ring buffer and display later on demand. -

Serilog
Simple .NET logging with fully-structured events
Like many other libraries for .NET, Serilog provides diagnostic logging to files, the console, and elsewhere. It is easy to set up, has a clean API, and is portable between recent .NET platforms. Unlike other logging libraries, Serilog is built with powerful structured event data in mind. Serilog message templates are a simple DSL extending .NET format strings. Parameters can be named, and their values are serialized as properties on the event for incredible searching and sorting flexibility. Serilog is a diagnostic logging library for .NET applications. It is easy to set up, has a clean API, and runs on all recent .NET platforms. While it's useful even in the simplest applications, Serilog's support for structured logging shines when instrumenting complex, distributed, and asynchronous applications and systems. -

The focus for NLog is high performance, easy-to-use, easy to extend and flexible to configure. NLog is very easy to configure, both through configuration file and programmatically. Even without restarting the application, the configuration can be changed. Every log message can be templated with various layout renders. Even though NLog has targets and pre-defined layouts, you can write custom targets or pass custom values. Fully support for structured logging. Targets are used to display, store or pass log messages to another destination. NLog can dynamically write to one of multiple targets for each log message.
