The destination and logging level of NetLogger messages are all easily controlled using an environment variable. * NetLogger visualization tool (nlv) : a powerful, customizable X-Windows tool or viewing and analysis of event logs based on time correlated and/or object correlated events. * NetLogger host/network monitoring tools: a collection of instrumented system monitoring tools: nl_vmstat, nl_netstat, nl_tcpdump, an interface to Ganglia, etc. * NetLogger storage and retrieval tools, including: * netlogd: a daemon that collects NetLogger events from several places at a single, central host * Archive: An event archive system for NetLogger data, based on mySQL * nlforward: forward all netlogger files in a specified directory to a given location Perhaps several related packages could be created for the different components.
