[brlug-general] EventSentry Re: open source tools for centralized logging?

[John Hebert]

Thanks for the info.

Turns out we own EventSentry (http://www.eventsentry.com/features/SYSLOG) which will do the job.. I appreciate the replies as it helped me to think about our requirements.

This is what I'd do John to keep it simple:

1. Bring up a log aggregator like Splunk (free for 500MB/day) or an
 open 
source one.

2. Point all UNIX syslog at all.

3. Install EventLog2Syslog on your Windows boxen. Point at server.

4. Install file2syslog on your Linux boxes. Point your Tomcat etc logs 
to localhost which routes to Splunk.

That should catch 80% of what you need. The rest is the fun part.
