Audit source (source_type=audit), off until enabled in Settings > Sources:
- follows /var/log/audit/audit.log (path configurable, AUDIT_LOG), with
rotation (end of audit.log.1 read first) and an offset checkpoint in
/data/audit-state.json; last AUDIT_BACKFILL (1h) read on first enable
- groups the records of an event by msg=audit(time:serial), closed on EOE,
after 2 s without a record, or once the log has moved 2 s past it
- fields audit_type, audit_serial, auid, user (enriched name, host
/etc/passwd or uid), exe, res, key, audit_raw; app = audit_type, host =
node= / AUDIT_HOST / /host/etc/hostname; summary "who: what [key] →
result"; warning when res=failed / success=no, info otherwise
- hexadecimal values (proctitle, cmd, exec arguments…) decoded
Internal logs (source_type=logstream, host=logstream, app=component):
- logEvent() for VictoriaLogs unreachable / back, lost batches, spooled
batches refused, syslog listener errors, Docker API and container
streams lost, failing sources, start and stop
- on by default from warning; switch and minimum level in Settings >
Sources (/data/selflog.json)
- bounded queue, never waits for the Store, same event at most once per
30 s with a count of the repeats: a failing Store cannot loop
UI: violet (audit) and turquoise (LogStream) left edge and tint, AUDIT /
LS badge before the app, raw audit record under the summary (folded in
compact density until the row is opened), Audit and LogStream in the
source filter, FR/EN translations. docker-compose: optional
/var/log/audit, /etc/passwd and /etc/hostname mounts. README (EN/FR):
host prerequisites (log_group, ACL for UID 10001).

New source in Settings > Sources, off by default: reads the kernel ring
buffer of the host through /dev/kmsg, dates records from the boot time and
resumes after the last sequence number of the same boot (no duplicates on
restart). Missing device or denied access is shown in the UI, retried every
10 s. docker-compose.yml and .env.example document the device and the
kernel.dmesg_restrict / CAP_SYSLOG options.

- ALLOW_PURGE is now false by default; the UI shows a banner when there is
no authentication.
- Read-only role: AUTH_VIEWER_USER/AUTH_VIEWER_PASS in local mode, or
OIDC_ADMIN_GROUP in OIDC mode; changes get 403 and the admin settings
are greyed out.
- Content-Security-Policy (inline scripts allowed by hash) and other
security headers; cross-site changes are refused.
- Syslog TCP: at most SYSLOG_TCP_MAX_CONNS connections, closed after
SYSLOG_TCP_IDLE of silence; HTTP idle timeout.

- Batches that fail go to /data/spool (SPOOL_MAX_MB, 1 GiB by default) and
are sent again oldest first; retries no longer block the store loop and
follow the shutdown context.
- Docker and host logs wait for room in a full queue instead of being
dropped; the Docker position only moves once a line is stored or spooled.
- Reverse DNS no longer holds up the syslog listeners, with an LRU cache
and a cap on concurrent lookups.

- SyslogServer opens and closes the UDP/TCP listeners at runtime from the
configuration saved in /data/syslog.json; a busy port no longer stops
Logstream, the error is shown in Settings instead.
- Sources tab: syslog section with an on/off switch, UDP and TCP labels,
the live listening state and the published port (SYSLOG_PORT, passed as
SYSLOG_PUBLIC_PORT for display; the mapping stays in docker-compose).

- docker.go follows every running container through the Docker API
(events + logs with follow), resumes after a restart from the last
position saved in /data/docker-state.json, reads DOCKER_BACKFILL (1h)
of history for new containers, strips terminal color codes and guesses
the severity from the line (JSON, logfmt, [ERROR], ERROR ...).
- Logs carry source_type=docker, container, container_id, image,
compose_project, compose_service and stream; host is the Docker host.
- Settings > Sources: one switch per container (grouped by compose
project), enable/disable all, follow new containers automatically.
Choices are saved per compose service in /data/docker.json.
- Source filter (syslog / docker) in the filter bar and the live view.
- docker-compose: read-only docker-socket-proxy; Logstream and the proxy
are labelled logstream.exclude=true and never collected.

- _time is now the reception time; the device timestamp moves to msg_time.
Devices with a wrong clock were indexed in the past and escaped time
ranges and the host list.
- Host/app lists also include values seen in displayed and live logs;
clicking a host or app cell filters on it.
- Severity badges err/crit and warning use the colors of the error and
warning tags; default tags are now pastel (old default colors migrated).

- Reverse DNS (cached PTR lookups): IP hosts are stored with their name
in 'host' and the IP in 'host_ip'; older IP-only logs are resolved on
display and the host filter shows 'name (IP)'. RDNS / DNS_SERVER env.
- Settings > Danger zone: delete all logs (type PURGE to confirm) through
VictoriaLogs /delete/run_task; -delete.enable added to docker-compose.
ALLOW_PURGE env to disable it.
- Remove the custom YYYY-MM-DD - HH:MM:SS:mmm format; default is now the
usual French display DD/MM/YYYY HH:MM:SS.

- Store a 'received' field (server clock) with every message
- New first column with the reception time
- Settings: time zone (browser, UTC, ~80 zones) and reception time
format (YYYY-MM-DD - HH:MM:SS:mmm by default, ISO 8601, 12h, epoch...)
- The chosen time zone applies to every date shown
