Read the whole thing for examples and details.
Free Alternative to Splunk Using Fluentd – now, this combination of Elasticsearch, Kibana, and Fluentd looks rather sexy.
Sentry – an event logging platform focused on capturing and aggregating exceptions. Most of the code is Open Source (except for a few proprietary plugins), in case you want to run your own hosted version.
Supports Ruby, Python, JavaScript, Java, Rails, Django, PHP, iOS, node.js, .NET, and more.
Easylogging++ – single header only, extremely light-weight high performance logging library for C++ applications
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 you are pretty much free to use it however you want in whatever way.
logstash is now a part of the Elasticsearch family!
