I'd like take a few minutes this morning and introduce my first open source project, KLog.
My goal with KLog is to create a central, easy to install, developer focused logging platform. The motivation came from 3 main areas:
- I wanted a central, easy to use, shared logging point for personal applications I was developing.
- At companies I worked for, having a centralized, visual logging and alerting platform for our applications would have been beneficial.
Existing solutions I looked at were either:
a) Geared toward infrastructure monitoring
b) Designed for large and/or complex enterprise environments
c) Cloud based, where I didn't truly own the data or control the retention policy
