Fastest server log analyzer tool you use?


Hi!

We are working on a blazing fast log analyzer tool for servers written in plain C.

I am wondering:

1. what are the known solutions you are using or are aware of in the industry?

2. what features/capabilities are a must have?

3. what features/capabilities are you missing and would like to see?

OP here: we are focusing on aggregations/calculations, search query to find matching logs.

what do you mean specifically by log analyzer as this is a broad term. Parse the logs? Index the logs & do some aggregations/calculations? Do a search query to find matching logs?

Sorry to hijack the thread, but why did you choose C instead of D? You can adapt your C program into D using a few find-and-replace searches, and you can #include arbitrary C headers (even Linux kernel headers) using DPP.
