+- Under GPL so its free to use, however this is a hobby for me and I will provide support as and when I can.

 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).  Currently it just works as a standalone command line script.
+
+Already, you can simulate an entire estate of devices at a rate as slow or as fast as you require, generating any type of log from firewalls, workstations, servers or applications.  By using the flexible placeholder system and/or multiple messages, must can be used for load/soak testing or to test log collection tools (such as Splunk, Greylog, Logger etc) or SIEM tools (HP Arcsight, NetIQ Novell Sentinel, or McAfee Nitro). 

 **Features:**
 - Configure any combination of log messages to send as UDP syslog to a target defined on execution
