The syslog-ng module incubator (Incubator henceforth) is a collection of tools and modules for syslog-ng that for one reason or the other, are not part of the official repository. This serves both as a staging ground for experimental modules, and as a repository of plugins that are not aimed at upstream inclusion. It's also an example of a third party syslog-ng module.
NOTE: The Incubator requires syslog-ng 3.5.0rc1 or newer!
-
Riemann destination: A simple, work in progress destination that allows syslog-ng to send events to the Riemann network monitoring system.
-
Trigger source: A very simple example source that periodically generates a message. Useful mostly for debugging purposes.
-
Extra template functions: Extra template functions, such as
$(//)which is floating-point division, as opposed to the built-in$(/)(integer division). -
logmongource: A log visualisation tool that extracts messages from a MongoDB collection, and visualises them with Gource
Installing the modules and tools follows the usual autotools way:
$ git clone git://github.com/balabit/syslog-ng-incubator.git
$ cd syslog-ng-incubator
$ autoreconf -i
$ ./configure && make && make install
Of course, one will need all the dependencies (syslog-ng, riemann-c-client, and libmongo-client; of which the latter two are optional) installed too.
