MonitorWare Knowledge Base

Hi all,

is it currently possible to create user defined message parsers with php logcon,e.g. for log4j?

Any hint appriciated

• Custom phpLogCon configuration?
• Maintenance Contract?
• Installation support?

Yes it is, there is no documentation about it yet but it is possible.
If you take a look to the classes/msgparsers/ directory, you will find some standard parsers which you can use as template to create your own parsers.

Hi

I'm trying syslog-ng and phplogconf as GUI.
I don't know PHP and I know very little about programming, the lack of the phplogcon documentation don't help me much.
With Syslog-ng can I customize the output of the log files format.
There is a format that can I define on syslog-ng so that phplogcon complete columns correctly (example Facility, Severty, Tag?
Can someone help me?

If you use and install the phpLogCon UserDB, you will have a full featured Admin Interface available which you can use to create personal views.
To convert an existing installation, see the following link:

Sorry, I have not been explained. I do not want to change the UserDB.
I want to change the association values in the columns of the DB with the view as SYSLOG.
The phpLogCon uses a schema monitorware like. In this schema, I added 2 columns (ProcessID and Program).
How can I can associate the values of these columns to the SYSLOG view?
I don't know PHP and I know very little about programming, the lack of the phplogcon documentation don't help me much.
With Syslog-ng can I customize the output of the log files format to the database.

It is very difficult to do this stuff manually and hardcoded, and requires php and properly some html skills.
This is actually the reason why there is a UserDB System including an admin interface for this.

You can manually add new types of fields in the include/constants_logstream.php code file, but please do not expect me to guide you through all the tiny details, when there is a fully featured user interface to do so. Just look into the include/constants_logstream.php file, you will see how the fields are assigned and configured.

Thanks, I try to understand how to modify the code.
