Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Readme

jsyslog logo

jsyslog is a javascript based syslog daemon that aims to be a complete implementation of RFC 3164, and RFC 5424.

A number of features are planned, like a plugin system for logging to endpoints such as Elasticsearch, Fluentd, Heka, Logstash or other syslog daemons.

why?

There is no RFC compliant syslog daemon in the nodejs ecosystem. Moreover, tools like rsyslog and syslog-ng are somewhat exacting in terms of their setup.

jsyslog intends to make it easy for anyone with a passing knowledge of javascript or json to be able setup, use and extend with a minimum amount of fuss.

getting started

A few things are required to use jsyslog on Linux and OSX systems (untested on Windows and *BSD as of this writing):

  1. node and npm binaries

  2. root access (if you want to run as an rsyslog/syslogd/syslog-ng replacement)

  3. highly recommend pm2 process manager

To get jsyslog setup, use npm or clone this repository.

cd to node_modules or wherever you cloned jsyslog

Edit config/config.js to your liking.

As root run pm2 start jsyslog or node jsyslog

TODO:

  1. Make npm -g install work

  2. Use process fork to run standalone and as an unprivileged user

  3. Build plugin system for logging endpoints like elasticsearch, fluentd, heka, logstash, rsyslog etc. etc.
