LogSalvo 2.6.1

LogSalvo 2.6.1 is the stable release of the latest sender and receiver improvements.

Highlights

• Keeps the latest received event visible through active sorting and filters.
• Adds an expandable received-log view with one-click layout restoration.
• Adds an editable, refreshable bind-address selector populated from local interfaces.
• Improves light and dark mode tab styling and alignment.
• Includes current raw, CEF, and UniFi log parsing improvements.
• Provides standalone macOS installers for Apple silicon and Intel Macs.

macOS downloads

• arm64 for Apple silicon Macs (M1 and newer).
• x86_64 for Intel Macs.

The macOS DMGs are unsigned and not notarised. After confirming the download came from this official repository, you may need to use System Settings > Privacy & Security > Open Anyway for the first launch. SHA-256 checksum files are provided for both installers.

See CHANGELOG.md for the complete change history.

LogSalvo 2.6.1-dev.1 (Unsigned macOS Development Build)

Unsigned development build of LogSalvo for macOS.

Download the DMG matching your Mac:

• arm64 for Apple silicon (M1 and newer)
• x86_64 for Intel Macs

Open the DMG and drag LogSalvo into Applications. Because this development build is not signed with an Apple Developer ID or notarised by Apple, macOS may block the first launch. Control-click LogSalvo, select Open, then confirm Open. Only install artifacts downloaded from this official repository.

SHA-256 checksum files are included for both DMGs.

LogSalvo 2.4.2

LogSalvo 2.4.2

LogSalvo 2.4.2 polishes the new two-level navigation and refreshes the project documentation with current Dark and Light mode screenshots.

Fixed

• Removed the extra secondary-tab offset so Connection aligns with the Send workspace tab and the left edge of its content card.
• Added a regression assertion to preserve the corrected alignment.

Documentation

• Added current Send screenshots in Dark and Light modes.
• Added current Receive screenshots in Dark and Light modes.
• Updated the README with side-by-side theme comparisons for both workspaces.

LogSalvo 2.4.1

LogSalvo 2.4.1

LogSalvo 2.4.1 introduces persistent Light and Dark appearance modes and refines the desktop application's two-level tab navigation.

Appearance modes

• Switch between Dark and Light modes from the application header.
• Restore the selected appearance automatically on future launches.
• Apply the active palette consistently across forms, tabs, tables, controls, status states, scrollbars, tooltips, and dialogs.
• Use theme-aware receiver severity colours for readable contrast in either mode.

Tab navigation improvements

• Send/Receive now uses a compact rounded primary workspace switch.
• Connection/Message/Run now uses quieter underline-style secondary navigation.
• Removed the native dark strip that appeared across unused tab-bar space in Light mode.
• Improved spacing, hierarchy, borders, hover feedback, selected states, and contrast in both themes.

Installation

LogSalvo 2.3.1

LogSalvo 2.3.1

This is the first public release under the LogSalvo name: a substantial evolution of the original Random Syslog Sender into a branded, standards-aware syslog traffic studio for sending, receiving, inspecting, filtering, and exporting syslog messages.

Highlights

• Cross-platform PySide6 desktop application with dedicated Send and Receive workspaces.
• CLI and GUI backed by the same tested sender core.
• RFC 3164 and RFC 5424 generation over UDP, TCP, and TLS.
• Configurable local UDP/TCP receiver with live filtering, parsed detail, bounded retention, and CSV/JSONL/raw export.
• Parsing for RFC 3164, RFC 5424, PRI-only messages, structured JSON, Cisco IOS, generic CEF, and UniFi CEF/device logs.
• IPv4/IPv6 support, RFC 6587 framing, certificate validation, optional mTLS, source binding, retries, rate control, and message templates.
• The Tech Shed branding, responsive forms, application versioning, copyright details, and current interface screenshots.

2.3.1 fix

UniFi CEF events that use a BSD-style timestamp and hostname prefix without a <PRI> header are now recognised correctly. The envelope timestamp and hostname are retained, while the CEF header and extensions populate the receiver fields and structured detail.

Installation

Install the CLI from the wheel attached below:

python -m pip install logsalvo-2.3.1-py3-none-any.whl

For the desktop GUI, install the gui extra from a source checkout:

v1.0.1 - Random Syslog Sender

📝 Release Description:

Initial release of Random Syslog Sender, a lightweight Python tool for generating and sending random syslog messages to a specified destination IP and port.

Features:
• Generate realistic syslog messages with randomized facilities, severities, and timestamps
• Control the number of messages, delay between messages, and interval for repeating sends
• Simple CLI interface with no external dependencies
• Supports UDP syslog (default port 514)

Usage Example:

python3 syslog_sender.py 192.168.1.100 --count 50 --delay 0.2 --interval 60

This sends 50 random messages every 60 seconds with a 0.2 second delay between each.
