sshlog is a server-side log parsing tool to assemble ssh-connection logs.
Primarily made for Linux-administrators / datacenter-operators with sufficient command-line interface (CLI) experience, or mostly anyone who can benefit from using it ;)
It was prototyped to be useful on small computer-terminals and mobile devices, like Android smart-phones / -tablets / -netbooks.
It comes in various versions: Bash, C, C++, Go, Python, Rust (located under: src/).
sshlog generates a log of SSH connections made to a system, filters results based on command-line arguments provided and pipes the results to the screen, or, into a timestamped textfile in "~/ssh-logs" in your home-directory.
It can filter log-results based on accepted/failed login(s), or by authentication-method(s) used by the remote connection (password / publickey / PAM).
Although originally written for bigrig- / server-use, it has proven to be quite a useful little log-tool on any Linux/MacOS/BSD-box that runs an OpenSSH-server.
I mainly made it to work on Ubuntu Server and certain derivatives (Ubuntu / Debian).
But have since refactored it to portable shell script to work on any unices: Linux, MacOS, BSD.
