Central syslog manager with whitelisting and ability to generate events from syslog entries
Central syslog management console with whitelisting feature and ability to generate events from syslog entries.
Echofish is a web based real-time event log aggregation, monitoring and management system, developed in php and mysql, with functionality based on the excellent idea/paper of Marcus J. Ranum, "Artificial Ignorance".
Through a simple dashboard, Echofish provides a single view for the administrators to monitor system and application events. Echofish allows the creation of whitelists and filters to provide administrators with a unique and customized view of their systems' event messages. Through detailed reports, alerting and notifications, Echofish is able to deliver new levels of visibility and insight on your business IT infrastructure.
Echofish focuses around the fact that:

On top of that, you can create triggers that allow you to achieve certain explicit tasks such as:
You can find configuration samples, installation recipes and other usefull
information in the contrib/
folder.
