rsyslox

rsyslox is a lightweight, high-performance REST API for accessing rsyslog data stored in MySQL/MariaDB. It exposes the SystemEvents table via a clean HTTP/JSON interface with filtering, pagination, and metadata queries — making it easy to integrate syslog data into dashboards, monitoring tools, or custom scripts.

Written in Go, it is designed to run as a standalone binary with minimal dependencies.
