Python Syslog-NG via Postgres Web Viewer (v0.4)

April 18th, 2008 | Category: Dev, Logview1 - Python SQL Syslog Web Viewer

As an exercise in learning Python, I decided a good simple practical application would be a tool to monitor system logs of various systems at once logging to an SQL database. This has already been quite helpful as I debug my OpenLDAP migration and taking a closer look at Solaris.

Python is a deliciously simple language and I had no trouble learning very quickly to rapidly develop a simple database driven application. My first app was quite useful to me, and I intend to add more features. A few years ago a friend and myself built a similar application in PHP but it has been lost over time.

I’ve released it on this website with its own project page, and posted an early alpha release if anyone cares to take a look.
