The Open Source Journal

As a coder, it's always nice to see other people get some use out of what you did. Most of the projects I work on are closed-source and proprietary, as such I'm glad to see that the LoggerFS project, which I unfortunately don't have time to maintain properly atm, has produced something useful in the form of a fuse C++ wrapper called fusexx.

You've reached the official documentation for the LoggerFS project. LoggerFS is a fuse-based virtual file system that allows you to store log files from apache, syslog and more directly in a database instead of a regular file.

Packages are available from our SourceForge Project Page, as is the source code.

In this follow up to LoggerFS: A Revolutionary Approach to Logging, I will guide you through a complete installation of LoggerFS on a RedHat Enterprise Linux 5 LAMP server running stock RHEL5 software to store Apache combined log format logs, including the installation of FUSE and creation of the MySQL LoggerFS database.

In this tutorial, I'll be discussing how to use fusexx to rewrite the Hello World module that's packaged with FUSE. To get started let's create a directory called "hello_world_module":
