Cool Tool - Logstash open source log management
Logstash, a fully free and fully open source tool for managing events and logs, let's you 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.
Logstash can easily parse text-based logs, you can query for more precise things like, all 404 http errors, nagios critical alerts in hard state, or mail server faults - all without accidentally finding logs with the word ‘404’ or ‘critical’ in the wrong place.
For an overview of logstash and why you would use it, you should watch the presentation Jordan Sissel gave at CarolinaCon 2011. This presentation covers logstash, how you can use it, some alternatives, logging best practices and parsing tools.
Cool Tool - Graylog2 open source log management
Graylog2, the free and open source log management solution enables you to unleash the power that lays inside your logs. Use it to run analytics, alerting, monitoring and powerful searches over your whole log base. Need to debug a failing request? Just run a quick filter search to find it and see what errors it produced. Want to see all messages a certain API consumer is consuming in real time? Create streams for every consumer and have them always only one click away.


All data sent to Graylog2 will appear in the web interface. Use the web interface to search and filter your data. A core part of the web interface are streams: They basically are saved searches that allow you to quickly access an overview that is already pre-filtered to match for example specific parts of your application. You can also run monitoring and alerting on single streams or directly forward all messages that are matched into a stream to other endpoints.

It consists of a server written in Java that accepts your syslog messages via TCP, UDP or AMQP and stores it in the database. The second part is a web interface that allows you to manage the log messages from your web browser. Take a look at the screenshots or the latest release info page to get a feeling of what you can do with Graylog2.

Share your eCertificate
If someone wants to validate your VMware certification status, VMware Education is offering a new way to share your current certificates with "Share your eCertificate". It enables you to share the PDF version of your VMware eCertificate.
You can hand-out a special URL, providing a direct link to your eCertificate and share this Certificate with others, allowing them to independently verify that your Certification is both authentic and valid.
You can also direct users to the Authentication Form, where they can enter your certification number and authentication code. The "Share your eCertificate" option can be found at VMware's Certification Portal.
