Gelfino is a tiny embeddable Gelf server written in pure Clojure, Gelfino enables real time processing of log events through streams either standalone or as a forwarding target from Graylog2.

Streams are defined using a Clojure DSL, a stream is curved out from the global message streams by defining selectors or embedded Drools fusion rules DSL.

Some use cases:

• Forwarding events into fnordmetric for generating graphs on specific events.
• Detecting events like server restarts, errors etc, and firing alerts.
• As a standalone server pipping events into a durable store.
• Statistics gathering, using storm and/or incanter.

Gelfino is meant to be used as library within a Clojure project, we use a DSL to define our streams and actions.

• Defining selectors is the simplest form of creating streams and applying actions on them.
• The embedded Drools rule DSL enables complex event processing queries (cep) who's results can be binded to any callback function.

Gelfino logs a couple of statistics into statistics.log file, these are updated every 5sec and include:

• Total messages received.
• Total messages processed.
• Processing rate (the difference between every 5sec).

Just add [com.narkisr/gelfino "0.3.0"] to project.clj file then follow this quick start.

• Integrating gelfino and storm.
• Use core logic in order to create facts and query them.
• Step out of the GELF spec and use snappy, see how much faster it is.
• Write a client side GELF sender, both for benchmarking and implementing chunking correctly (some existing libraries dont).
• Add syslog support.
