Kids is a log aggregation system.
It aggregates messages like Scribe and its pub/sub pattern is ported from Redis.
- Real-time subscription
- Distributed collection
- Message persistence
- Multithreading
- Redis protocol
- No third-party dependencies
You need a complier with C++11 support like GCC 4.7 (or later) or Clang.
Download a release. Untar the tarball, then:
./configure
make
make test # optional
make install
By default, it will be installed to /usr/local/bin/kids.
You can use the --prefix option to specify the installation location.
Run ./configure --help for more config options.
Kids comes with some sample config files in samples/, after building, simply run:
kids -c samples/dev.conf
Because kids uses redis protocol, so you can use redis-cli to play with it, open another terminal:
$ redis-cli -p 3888
$ 127.0.0.1:3388> PSUBSCRIBE *
In yet another terminal:
$ redis-cli -p 3388
$ 127.0.0.1:3388> PUBLISH test message
redis-cli needs redis to be installed, in MAC, you can run brew install redis to install it.
Full explanation of config file, see here.
Run kids --help for more running options.
Kids is BSD-licensed, see LICENSE for more details.
