logstash is a tool for managing events and logs. You can use it to collect logs, parse them, and store them for later use (like, for searching). Speaking of searching, logstash comes with a web interface for searching and drilling into all of your logs.

It is fully free and fully open source. The license is Apache 2.0, meaning youare pretty much free to use it however you want in whatever way.

For more info, seehttp://logstash.net/

jar releases are available here:http://semicomplete.com/files/logstash/If you want to build the jar yourself, run:

make jar

rpm, deb, or other package formats are not currently available, but are easy tobuild withfpm. If you are interested inseeing future releases include your favorite packaging format, please let meknow.

All contributions are welcome: ideas, patches, documentation, bug reports,complaints, and even something you drew up on a napkin.

Programming is not a required skill. Whatever you've seen about open source andmaintainers or community members saying "send patches or die" - you will notsee that here.

It is more important to me that you are able to contribute.

That said, some basic guidelines, which you are free to ignore :)

• Have a problem you want logstash to solve for you? You can email themailing list, orjoin the IRC channel #logstash on irc.freenode.org, or email me personally(jls@semicomplete.com)
• Have an idea or a feature request? File a ticket onjira, or email themailing list, or emailme personally (jls@semicomplete.com) if that is more comfortable.
• If you think you found a bug, it probably is a bug. File it onjira or send details tothemailing list.
• If you want to send patches, best way is to fork this repo and send me a pullrequest. If you don't know git, I also accept diff(1) formatted patches -whatever is most comfortable for you.
  • DO NOT MODIFYGemfile.lock IN YOUR PULL REQUESTS. THIS WILL CAUSE MERGE FAILURES.
• Want to lurk about and see what others are doing? IRC (#logstash onirc.freenode.org) is a good place for this as is themailing list
