PySysLogQt

Extremely simple syslog viewer written in Python 3.

Note: It is nothing too fancy at this point in time. Currently, there are no intentions of making this quite extensive. Features may be requested in the Issues page.

Execution

Run from Source

Make sure you have Python 3 and PyQt5 installed. In the root directory, execute

python3 __main__.py

Run from Executable

For Linux-systems, an executable is bundled for simplicity of use. This file is located in the dist folder, or can be downloaded from the latest version.

Allow all Ports

By default, all ports below 1024 (with the exception of port 0) require root access. Execute the application as such to be able to capture all those messages.

Capturing on port 0 is disallowed, since it commonly indicates "choose any valid port".
