napalm-automation/napalm-logs

Napalm-logs is a Python-based syslog parsing and publishing service that transforms raw network device logs into structured OpenConfig or IETF YANG models. It features a multi-process architecture with pluggable components for listening (TCP, UDP, ZMQ, Kafka), buffering (memory, Redis), and transport (HTTP, Kafka, Prometheus), allowing flexible integration with various backends. The system supports secure client authentication and provides comprehensive test coverage for a wide range of network operating systems, including Cisco IOS/IOS-XR, Juniper Junos, Arista EOS, and Fortinet.

About this page

  • The description of this project is derived from its own commit history, not from its README.
  • The score is its highest published measurement, taken on 4 August 2026 at a pinned commit. It is not a live figure and does not change until the project is measured again.
  • Measured at commit 1f7b06f808 — the exact code this score is about.
  • Scored under rubric rubric-2026.08.19. Score the same commit under that rubric and you get the same number.
