What is the Syslog Management tool?

The idea is quite simple, SMT uses Modular Syslog to collect syslog messages and dump them to a SQL server(PostGreSQL). SMT then grabs logs and runs rules consisting of regular expressions, facility & severity ranges, and other parameters such as time to determine who, when, and how to alert.

REQUEST FOR LOGO

I couldn't make a logo if I had to. Donation of a good logo would be appreciated. 8)

What is the Security Framework?

The security framework is a PHP application framework that allows for users, groups, applications, and application access-lists allowing a more granular control.

Goals of SMT:
  • Be scaleable
  • Provide a distributed framework to be disaster recovery enabled
  • Multiple levels of access to better fit a scalable support structure
  • Support large log volumes
  • Help companies achieve Payment Card Industry(PCI) compliance - yes... it is a goal

    News:
  • 5/22/2006: UPDATES I am in the process of trying to find an alternative to Modular Syslog. Some may have noticed that I have done significant work to create a mostly complete(broken at the moment) syslog daemon. It is based on PHP. However I think syslog-ng will solve my issues though that has its own hurdles. In any case, this project is NOT abandoned. I am also working on a massive work project that is and has been eating up all of my work and free time. The good news is that more SMT features will be coming out of that and be integrated into SMT 2.0. Stuff like, stunnel log relay and a few other things. I appreciate everyone's patience as I work through this.
  • 9/27/2005: Just posted SMT V1.0 MS Word Doc/Manual. Please see the documentation link above.
  • 8/25/2004: Updates to FAQ + Install instructions. I'm going on the road as well so I'll be working on the manual as my previous idea for the manual failed miserably. The new manual will concentrate on V1.5 of SMT. I'm going to be posting screenshots(at some point of new interface designs. I'll be looking for feedback before I start programming.
  • 7-13-2004: A whole slew of updates are waiting to be merged with the Subversion tree. I am also generating the scripts to help it integrate with Slony which is an excellent async active-passive replication system!
