Unflushed Buffers

This release adds a simple event log for the log viewer, and tools for user management (add, modify, delete), as well as cleaning up some of the HTML.

I have held back adding features for annotating, bookmarking and sign-off until the next version.

Visit the project page or SVN repository.

It’s only been one day since I published the site on the web, but today I added some more of the features on the TODO list, so the script is more useful for searching logs.

For now I’m calling it Logview1… it’s a viewer, that views logs, and it’s number one!

Visit the project page, where I’ve posted the source and some screenshots.

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.
