UTMStack stands out in threat prevention by surpassing the boundaries of traditional systems. Our software platform can swiftly analyze log data to identify and halt threats at their source in real-time, even if the threat was not directly detected on the server itself. This seamless integration of SIEM and XDR capabilities sets UTMStack apart from competitors, providing organizations with an effective, holistic cybersecurity suite that enhances threat detection, response, and remediation across clients’ valuable digital infrastructure. -

Flog
A fake log generator for common log formats
flog is a fake log generator built in Go that produces realistic log entries in several common formats, including Apache common, Apache combined, Apache error, RFC3164, RFC5424, and JSON. It was created to help developers and operators test systems that consume log data, such as log pipelines, SIEMs, or streaming platforms like Amazon Kinesis. Users can control the output by specifying the log format, output file path, log type (stdout, plain log file, or gzip-compressed file), and either the number of lines or the total byte size of logs to generate. Additional options let you simulate timing behavior by configuring creation intervals and generation delays, as well as splitting output into multiple files based on line count or file size. The tool can run in a loop to continuously emit logs until terminated, making it suitable for soak testing or stress testing log ingestion services. -

NXLog
A multi-platform universal log collector and forwarder
NXLog is a modular, multi-threaded, high-performance log management solution with multi-platform support. In concept it is similar to syslog-ng or rsyslog but is not limited to unix/syslog only. It can collect logs from files in various formats, receive logs from the network remotely over UDP, TCP or TLS/SSL . It supports platform specific sources such as the Windows Eventlog, Linux kernel logs, Android logs, local syslog etc. Writing and reading logs to/from databases is also supported. The collected logs can be stored into files, databases or forwarded to a remote log server using various protocols. The old BSD Syslog and the newer IETF syslog standard is fully supported by NXLog in addition to Snare, XML, JSON, GELF, KVP, CSV and custom formats. A key concept in NXLog is to be able to handle and preserve structured logs. No need to convert everything to syslog and parse these logs again at the other side. It has powerful message filtering, log rewrite and conversion capabilities. -

OpenObserve
Elasticsearch/Splunk/Datadog alternative for (logs, metrics, traces)
OpenObserve is a cloud-native observability platform built specifically for logs, metrics, traces, and analytics designed to work at a petabyte scale. It is very simple and easy to operate as opposed to Elasticsearch which requires a couple of dozen knobs to understand and tune which you can get up and running in under 2 minutes. It is a drop-in replacement for Elasticsearch if you are just ingesting data using APIs and searching using Kibana (Kibana is not supported nor required with OpenObserve. OpenObserve provides its own UI which does not require separate installation unlike Kibana). You can reduce your log storage costs by ~140x compared to Elasticsearch by using OpenObserve. Below are the results when we pushed logs from our production Kubernetes cluster to Elasticsearch and OpenObserve using fluent bit. OpenObserve stored data in Amazon s3 and Elasticsearch stored data on Amazon EBS volumes. -

Quickwit
Sub-second search & analytics engine on cloud storage
Sub-second search & analytics engine on cloud storage. Quickwit is the fastest search engine on cloud storage. Quickwit has an Elasticsearch-compatible Ingest-API to make it easier to migrate your log shippers (Vector, Fluent Bit, Syslog, ...) to Quickwit. However, we only support ES aggregation DSL, the query DSL support is planned for Q2 2023. The core difference and advantage of Quickwit are its architecture built from the ground to search on cloud storage. We optimized IO paths, revamped the index data structures and made search stateless and sub-second on cloud storage. Quickwit is open-source under the GNU Affero General Public License Version 3 - AGPLv3. Fundamentally, this means you are free to use Quickwit for your project if you don't modify Quickwit. However, if you do and you are distributing your modified version to the public, you have to make the modifications public. -
