nsyslog
NSyslog is a modern, new generation, logagent and syslog server. It features a modular flow architecture of data collectors (inputs), processors and transporters.
Since all the codebase is written in NodeJS, it has a very small memory footprint and excels at data input/output. It also benefits from the excellent streams framework provided natively by node.
Main Features
- Small memory footprint
- Flow control of push and pull inputs
- On-Disk input data buffering
- A wide core catalog inputs, processors and transporters
- Extensible with custom inputs, processors and transporters
- Support for Apache Storm multilang protocol
- Multicore flows for parallel processing
