The phpLogCon project provides an easy to use but powerful front end for searching, reviewing and analyzing network event data, including syslog, windows event log and many other event sources. It focusses on the user-interface side of this project, so the data itself needs to be gathered by another program, for example the stock syslogd, rsyslog (often the distro's default syslogd), WinSyslog or MonitorWare Agent. PhpLogCon works equally well on Linux and Windows. It is a free, GPLed open source application written mostly in php. Data can be obtained from databases but also from plain text files, for example those that are written by the syslogd.
