Open Source Linux Software Testing Tools

Using templated message formats with customisable placeholders, run in configurable sequences that can selectively reuse data between steps, must allows more intelligent testing of syslog receivers with realistic data, as well as longer soak testing and stress testing. must was created to fill a gap found when trying to stress test Splunk as real, indexable and meaningful data was needed. must will (eventually) be provided as a standalone tool that uses XML configs (for quick use and consultancy etc) and as a web-based tool (for more permanent/pretty deployment (with historical reporting and live stats). SUPPORT: The best way of contacting me is via Twitter below, NEWS: (16/Mar/15) A beta of v2 is finally released - apologies for the long delay!

MakeLogic Tail is an advanced "tail -f" command with GUI. It needs JRE 5.0, hence it is 'Tail for Windows', Linux or 'Tail for Mac'. It shows the last few lines of a growing log file in real time. Provides many more easy to use features. Try it!

AwkStatistics is a script which is used to generate statistical data for csv data by using awk. It takes two columns from the input file, one is used to identify the row(option -i) and the other one is the column where the values are taken from (option -v). The script was designed for performance engineers to be able to analyze CSV-Data on the fly and have a good possibility to automate the analysis process.

DBD2 inserts database records from TCP input. It is a companion project to Syslgod2 and an application in its own right. It ships with a backgrounding client for generic use. The client sends whatever information the user puts on the command-line to the back-end daemon via TCP. Upon successful transmission, the client exits. On failure, it backs off and retries until its life-time timer expires. The back-end daemon accepts data from Syslogd2 or its own client and inserts that data (and envelope information) into one or more databases using MySql client library or dbi drivers (also on SourceForge). The client needs no configuration (all input is via command-line). It is intended for hosts to make database entries without needing database client or interface code. Syslogd2 integration allows DBD2 to act as Syslogd2's database back-end for MySql and other databases supported by the dbi drivers. Original purpose was to track Linux cluster job status but other uses exist.

LogCrawler is an ANT task for automatic testing of web applications. Using a HTTP crawler it visits all pages of a website and checks the server logfiles for errors. Use it as a "smoketest" with your CI system like CruiseControl.

Skavenger analyzes HTTP traffic logged by various Web proxies (including WebScarab and Burp) for indications of common web vulnerabilities such as XSS, CRLF injection and various kinds of information disclosure.

Provides a common way to measure the time intervals in a kind of log files.
