Source badge at the start of every log line

Each row now starts with a fixed-width badge naming its source, one color
per source: SYSLOG, DOCKER, KERNEL (dmesg), HOST (/var/log), AUDIT, FILE
and LS. The AUDIT/FILE/LS badges move there from before the app name; those
sources keep their colored edge and tint.

+## Messages du noyau (dmesg)
+

+- **Droits** : si l'hôte a `kernel.dmesg_restrict=1` (le défaut sur Debian et Ubuntu), seuls
+  les processus qui ont la capacité `CAP_SYSLOG` peuvent lire le log du noyau, et le conteneur
+  tourne avec un utilisateur sans privilège. Au choix :
+  - l'autoriser sur l'hôte : `sysctl -w kernel.dmesg_restrict=0`, conservé au redémarrage avec
+    `echo kernel.dmesg_restrict=0 | sudo tee /etc/sysctl.d/50-dmesg.conf` (tous les
+    utilisateurs de l'hôte peuvent alors lancer `dmesg`) ; ce réglage ne peut pas être changé
+    depuis un conteneur ;
+  - ou lancer Logstream en root avec la capacité `SYSLOG` : décommentez `user: "0:0"` et
+    `cap_add: [SYSLOG]` dans `docker-compose.yml`.
+
+  Paramètres > Sources de logs indique si le périphérique est absent ou l'accès refusé ; le reste de
+  Logstream continue de fonctionner et le périphérique est réessayé toutes les 10 secondes.
+- **Champs** : **app** vaut `kernel` (ou le nom du programme pour les messages écrits par des
+  programmes, comme `systemd[1]: …`), la sévérité et la facility viennent de l'enregistrement,
+  **host** vaut `localhost`, `subsystem` et `device` sont conservés quand le noyau les fournit.
+  Ces logs ont la source `kernel` (`proto` `kmsg`) : le filtre **Source** permet de les afficher
+  seuls.
+- **Heure** : les enregistrements portent le temps écoulé depuis le démarrage ; Logstream le
+  convertit en date grâce à l'heure de démarrage (`/proc/uptime`). Comme avec `dmesg -T`,
+  l'heure peut être trop tôt après une mise en veille de l'hôte.
+- À l'activation, la dernière heure est lue d'abord (`DMESG_BACKFILL`, `0` = seulement les
+  nouveaux messages). Le numéro de séquence du dernier message et l'identifiant de démarrage
+  sont enregistrés dans `/data/dmesg-state.json` : après un redémarrage de Logstream, la lecture
+  reprend après le dernier message (sans doublon) ; après un redémarrage de l'hôte, le nouveau
+  buffer est lu depuis `DMESG_BACKFILL`. Les messages écrasés dans le buffer du noyau avant
+  d'être lus sont comptés dans Paramètres.

+## Audit Linux (auditd)
+
+Logstream peut suivre le journal du démon d'audit Linux (`/var/log/audit/audit.log`) :
+connexions, `sudo`, fichiers surveillés, appels système visés par vos règles `auditctl`… La
+source est **désactivée par défaut** : activez-la dans **Réglages > Sources > Audit Linux
+(auditd)**, où le chemin du fichier peut aussi être changé (enregistré dans `/data/audit.json` ;
+`AUDIT_LOG` fixe le chemin par défaut).
+
+- **Montage** : décommentez `/var/log/audit:/var/log/audit:ro` dans `docker-compose.yml`, puis
+  `docker compose up -d`. (`/var/log` est déjà monté sous `/host` pour les logs système de
+  l'hôte : `/host/var/log/audit/audit.log` fonctionne donc aussi comme chemin, sans nouveau
+  volume.)
+- **Droits** (côté hôte) : auditd écrit son journal en `root`, mode `0600`, dans un répertoire
+  `0700`, et Logstream tourne avec l'UID `10001`. Le plus fiable est le groupe que le conteneur
+  reçoit déjà pour les logs de l'hôte (`HOST_LOGS_GID`, `adm` par défaut) :
+  ```bash
+  sudo sed -i 's/^log_group.*/log_group = adm/' /etc/audit/auditd.conf
+  sudo chgrp adm /var/log/audit && sudo chmod 750 /var/log/audit
+  sudo service auditd restart        # systemctl refuse de redémarrer auditd sur certaines distributions
+  ```
+  auditd crée alors chaque fichier, rotations comprises, en mode `0640` avec le groupe `adm`.
+  Une ACL fonctionne aussi
+  (`sudo setfacl -m u:10001:rx /var/log/audit && sudo setfacl -m u:10001:r /var/log/audit/audit.log`)
+  mais doit être réappliquée à chaque nouveau fichier après une rotation. Réglages > Sources
+  indique si le fichier est absent ou l'accès refusé ; il est réessayé chaque seconde.
+- **Événements** : les enregistrements d'un même événement (`SYSCALL`, `EXECVE`, `CWD`, `PATH`,
+  `PROCTITLE`…) partagent le même `msg=audit(heure:numéro)` et deviennent **un seul** log, dès
+  qu'aucun enregistrement n'est arrivé depuis 2 secondes. Le message est un résumé — qui, quoi,
+  résultat — comme `cedric (as root): exec apt install nginx [exec] → success` ou
+  `bob: PAM:authentication via /usr/sbin/sshd from 203.0.113.9 on ssh → failed` ; les
+  enregistrements bruts sont gardés dans `audit_raw` et affichés sous le résumé (repliés en
+  densité compacte tant que la ligne n'est pas ouverte). Les valeurs hexadécimales
+  (`proctitle`, `cmd`, arguments avec espaces) sont décodées.
+- **Champs** : `audit_type` (type du premier enregistrement, aussi utilisé comme **app**),
+  `audit_serial`, `auid` (identifiant de l'utilisateur connecté), `user` (son nom, ou l'uid s'il
+  ne peut pas être résolu), `exe`, `res` (`success` / `failed`, d'après `res=` ou `success=`) et
+  `key` (clé de la règle). La sévérité est `warning` en cas d'échec, `info` sinon ; facility
+  `authpriv` ; source `audit`. Dans la liste, les lignes d'audit ont un liseré gauche violet,
+  un fond légèrement teinté et le badge de source **AUDIT** ; le filtre **Source** permet de
+  les afficher seules.
+- **Noms** : `user` vient du format enrichi (`log_format = ENRICHED`, le défaut des versions
+  récentes d'auditd), sinon du `/etc/passwd` de l'hôte s'il est monté en `/host/etc/passwd`.
+  **host** est le `node=` des enregistrements (`name_format = hostname` dans `auditd.conf`),
+  sinon `AUDIT_HOST`, sinon `/host/etc/hostname`, sinon `localhost`.
+- À l'activation, la dernière heure est lue d'abord (`AUDIT_BACKFILL`, `0` = seulement les
+  nouveaux événements). L'inode et une position avant laquelle tout événement a été envoyé sont
+  enregistrés dans `/data/audit-state.json` : après un redémarrage, la lecture reprend là ;
+  après une rotation par auditd, la fin de `audit.log.1` est lue avant le nouveau fichier.
+
+## Fichiers de logs (Traefik, nginx, applications…)
+
+Logstream peut suivre les fichiers de logs d'autres programmes : Traefik, nginx, Apache, ou
+toute application qui écrit dans un fichier. Déclarez chaque fichier dans **Paramètres > Sources
+de logs > Fichiers de logs** (enregistré dans `/data/files.json`, 50 au plus) : un **nom** (l'**app**
+de ses entrées, par défaut le nom du fichier), le **chemin** du fichier tel que monté dans le
+conteneur, un **format** (*Automatique* par défaut), un **hôte** facultatif (par défaut
+`/host/etc/hostname`, sinon `localhost`) et un interrupteur.
+
+- **Montage** du dossier en lecture seule, par ex. dans `docker-compose.yml` :
+  `- /var/log/traefik:/logs/traefik:ro`, puis `docker compose up -d`. Les fichiers de `/var/log`
+  sont déjà accessibles sous `/host/var/log/…`. Les fichiers doivent être lisibles par l'UID
+  `10001` ou le groupe de `HOST_LOGS_GID` (`adm` par défaut) ; Paramètres > Sources de logs
+  indique quand aucun fichier ne correspond ou que l'accès est refusé.
+- **Chemin** : un fichier, par ex. `/logs/traefik/access.log` (pas de jokers). Dès la saisie, le
+  fichier est vérifié : trouvé ou non, lisible ou non, son format détecté et sa dernière ligne.
+- **Détection du format** (*Automatique*) : à partir des dernières lignes du fichier (50 au
+  plus), le format structuré que suivent au moins 80 % d'entre elles — accès Traefik JSON, JSON
+  lines, journal d'accès CLF, logfmt — sinon texte brut. Elle est refaite quand le format est
+  changé ; le format trouvé s'affiche dans l'état du fichier. Choisissez un autre format pour
+  le forcer (une expression régulière n'est jamais détectée).
+- **Formats** :
+  - *Texte brut* : une entrée par ligne ; le niveau est détecté comme pour les logs Docker, un
+    horodatage en début de ligne (ISO 8601, `2006/01/02 15:04:05`, `[02/Jan/2006:15:04:05 +0200]`,
+    `Jan  2 15:04:05`) devient l'heure du message et est retiré du message. Les lignes indentées
+    (stack traces) sont rattachées à l'entrée précédente.
+  - *JSON lines* : `msg` / `message`, `time` / `ts` / `@timestamp` (texte ou heure Unix) et
+    `level` (mot ou nombre, pino/bunyan compris) sont reconnus ; les autres clés deviennent des
+    champs, les objets imbriqués avec des noms pointés (`req.id`).
+  - *logfmt* : paires `clé=valeur`, comme les logs par défaut de Traefik ou des programmes Go ;
+    mêmes clés que le JSON.
+  - *Journal d'accès (CLF)* : Common / Combined Log Format de nginx et Apache, et le journal
+    d'accès de Traefik dans ce format (routeur, URL du serveur et durée compris). Champs
+    `client_ip`, `http_method`, `http_path`, `http_status`, `http_size`, `user_agent`,
+    `http_referer`, `router`, `backend`, `duration_ms`.
+  - *Accès Traefik (JSON)* : le journal d'accès JSON de Traefik (`accessLog.format: json`),
+    résumé en `GET app.example.com/ 200 · 12.5 ms · app@docker · 203.0.113.9`, toutes les clés
+    dans les champs. Les logs de Traefik lui-même dans le même fichier sont lus comme du JSON.
+  - *Expression régulière* (syntaxe RE2 / Go) : les groupes nommés `time`, `level`, `msg`,
+    `host` et `app` remplissent ces champs, `status` donne le niveau d'un journal d'accès, les
+    autres groupes deviennent des champs, par ex.
+    `^(?P<time>\S+ \S+) \[(?P<level>\w+)\] (?P<module>\S+): (?P<msg>.*)$`. Une ligne qui ne
+    correspond pas est rattachée à l'entrée précédente.
+
+  Pour les journaux d'accès, les statuts 5xx sont en `err`, les 4xx en `warning`, les autres en
+  `info`. Une ligne qui ne suit pas le format choisi est gardée comme du texte brut. Les champs
+  qui portent le nom d'un champ de LogStream (`host`, `app`…) sont renommés `field_host`,
+  `field_app`…
+- **Affichage** : source `file`, le chemin dans `log_file`. Dans la liste, ces lignes ont un
+  liseré gauche vert, une légère teinte et le badge de source **FILE** ; le filtre **Source**
+  les affiche seules.
+- À l'activation d'un fichier, les lignes de la dernière heure déjà présentes sont lues d'abord
+  (`FILES_BACKFILL`, `0` = seulement les nouvelles lignes ; les lignes sans horodatage sont alors
+  ignorées). Le début de cette heure est trouvé par dichotomie sur les dates des lignes : un gros
+  fichier qui contient des mois de logs n'est pas relu depuis son début ; un fichier créé ensuite
+  est lu depuis son début, jusqu'à 64 Mo par seconde, l'état indiquant ce qu'il reste à lire. L'inode et une
+  position sont enregistrés par fichier dans `/data/files-state.json` : après un redémarrage la
+  lecture reprend là ; après une rotation (`access.log` renommé `access.log.1`), la fin de
+  l'ancien fichier est lue avant le nouveau ; un fichier vidé sur place (`copytruncate`) est
+  relu depuis son début.
+
+## Logs internes de LogStream
+
+Logstream enregistre ses propres événements comme des logs, avec l'**hôte** `logstream`,
+l'**app** du composant (`store`, `syslog`, `docker`, `host`, `dmesg`, `audit`, `files`, `main`) et la
+source `logstream` : VictoriaLogs injoignable puis de retour, lots perdus, lots refusés depuis
+le tampon disque, erreurs du listener syslog, API Docker ou flux d'un conteneur décrochés,
+sources qui ne peuvent pas lire, démarrage et arrêt. Ils sont actifs par défaut à partir du
+niveau **warning** ; **Réglages > Sources > Logs internes de LogStream** permet de les couper
+ou de changer le niveau minimal (enregistré dans `/data/selflog.json`). Un même événement
+(composant et message) est enregistré au plus une fois toutes les 30 secondes, avec le nombre
+de répétitions écartées ; les événements passent par une file bornée et n'attendent jamais le
+stockage : un VictoriaLogs injoignable ne peut ni les accumuler ni les faire boucler. Tout
+continue d'aller dans `docker compose logs logstream` comme avant. Dans la liste, ces lignes
+ont un liseré gauche turquoise et un badge **LS** devant l'app ; le filtre **Source** permet de

+## Kernel messages (dmesg)
+
+Logstream can collect the kernel ring buffer of the host (what `dmesg` shows: hardware,
+drivers, OOM killer, firewall…) by reading `/dev/kmsg`. The source is **off by default**: turn it
+on in **Settings > Log sources > Kernel messages (dmesg)** (saved in `/data/dmesg.json`).

+- **Device**: the container does not see `/dev/kmsg` by default. Uncomment the `devices`
+  section of `docker-compose.yml` (`/dev/kmsg:/dev/kmsg:r`, read-only), then
+  `docker compose up -d`.
+- **Permissions**: when the host has `kernel.dmesg_restrict=1` (the default on Debian and
+  Ubuntu), only processes with the `CAP_SYSLOG` capability can read the kernel log, and the
+  container runs as an unprivileged user. Either:
+  - allow it on the host: `sysctl -w kernel.dmesg_restrict=0`, kept across reboots with
+    `echo kernel.dmesg_restrict=0 | sudo tee /etc/sysctl.d/50-dmesg.conf` (every user of the
+    host can then run `dmesg`); this setting cannot be changed from a container;
+  - or run Logstream as root with the `SYSLOG` capability: uncomment `user: "0:0"` and
+    `cap_add: [SYSLOG]` in `docker-compose.yml`.
+
+  Settings > Log sources says when the device is missing or access is denied; the rest of
+  Logstream keeps working and the device is tried again every 10 seconds.
+- **Fields**: **app** is `kernel` (or the program name for messages written by programs such
+  as `systemd[1]: …`), severity and facility come from the record, **host** is `localhost`,
+  `subsystem` and `device` are kept when the kernel gives them. These logs have the `kernel`
+  source (`proto` `kmsg`): the **Source** filter shows them alone.
+- **Time**: records carry the time since boot; Logstream turns it into a date using the boot
+  time (`/proc/uptime`). As with `dmesg -T`, the time can be early after the host was suspended.
+- When the source is turned on, the last hour is read first (`DMESG_BACKFILL`, `0` = only new
+  messages). The sequence number of the last message and the boot ID are saved in
+  `/data/dmesg-state.json`: after a restart of Logstream, reading resumes after the last
+  message (no duplicates); after a reboot of the host, the new buffer is read from
+  `DMESG_BACKFILL` ago. Messages overwritten in the kernel buffer before being read are counted
+  in Settings.
+
+## Linux audit (auditd)

+Logstream can follow the log of the Linux audit daemon (`/var/log/audit/audit.log`): logins,
+`sudo`, watched files, syscalls matched by your `auditctl` rules… The source is **off by
+default**: turn it on in **Settings > Log sources > Linux audit (auditd)**, where the file path can
+also be changed (saved in `/data/audit.json`; `AUDIT_LOG` sets the default path).
+
+- **Mount**: uncomment `/var/log/audit:/var/log/audit:ro` in `docker-compose.yml`, then
+  `docker compose up -d`. (`/var/log` is already mounted under `/host` for the host system
+  logs, so `/host/var/log/audit/audit.log` also works as the path, without a new volume.)
+- **Permissions** (host side): auditd writes its log as `root`, mode `0600`, in a `0700`
+  directory, and Logstream runs as UID `10001`. The reliable way is the group the container
+  already gets for the host logs (`HOST_LOGS_GID`, `adm` by default):
+  ```bash
+  sudo sed -i 's/^log_group.*/log_group = adm/' /etc/audit/auditd.conf
+  sudo chgrp adm /var/log/audit && sudo chmod 750 /var/log/audit
+  sudo service auditd restart        # systemctl refuses to restart auditd on some distributions
+  ```
+  auditd then creates every rotated file with mode `0640` and group `adm`. An ACL also works
+  (`sudo setfacl -m u:10001:rx /var/log/audit && sudo setfacl -m u:10001:r /var/log/audit/audit.log`)
+  but must be applied again to each new file after a rotation. Settings > Log sources says when the
+  file is missing or access is denied; it is tried again every second.
+- **Events**: the records of one event (`SYSCALL`, `EXECVE`, `CWD`, `PATH`, `PROCTITLE`…) share
+  the same `msg=audit(time:serial)` and become **one** log, once no record came for 2 seconds.
+  The message is a summary — who, what, result — such as
+  `cedric (as root): exec apt install nginx [exec] → success` or
+  `bob: PAM:authentication via /usr/sbin/sshd from 203.0.113.9 on ssh → failed`; the raw
+  records are kept in `audit_raw` and shown under the summary (folded in compact density until
+  the line is opened). Hexadecimal values (`proctitle`, `cmd`, arguments with spaces) are
+  decoded.
+- **Fields**: `audit_type` (type of the first record, also used as **app**), `audit_serial`,
+  `auid` (login user ID), `user` (its name, or the uid when it cannot be resolved), `exe`, `res`
+  (`success` / `failed`, from `res=` or `success=`) and `key` (rule key). Severity is `warning`
+  when the result is a failure, `info` otherwise; facility `authpriv`; source `audit`. In the
+  list, audit lines have a violet left edge, a light tint and the **AUDIT** source badge;
+  the **Source** filter shows them alone.
+- **Names**: `user` comes from the enriched format (`log_format = ENRICHED`, the default of
+  recent auditd versions), else from the host's `/etc/passwd` when it is mounted as
+  `/host/etc/passwd`. **host** is the `node=` of the records (`name_format = hostname` in
+  `auditd.conf`), else `AUDIT_HOST`, else `/host/etc/hostname`, else `localhost`.
+- When the source is turned on, the last hour is read first (`AUDIT_BACKFILL`, `0` = only new
+  events). The inode and an offset before which every event was sent are saved in
+  `/data/audit-state.json`: after a restart, reading resumes there; after a rotation by auditd,
+  the end of `audit.log.1` is read before the new file.
+
+## Log files (Traefik, nginx, applications…)
+
+Logstream can follow the log files of other programs: Traefik, nginx, Apache, or any application
+that writes to a file. Declare each file in **Settings > Log sources > Log files** (saved in
+`/data/files.json`, up to 50): a **name** (the **app** of its entries, by default the file name),
+the **path** of the file as mounted in the container, a **format** (*Automatic* by default), an
+optional **host** (default: `/host/etc/hostname`, else `localhost`) and a switch.
+
+- **Mount** the directory read-only, e.g. in `docker-compose.yml`:
+  `- /var/log/traefik:/logs/traefik:ro`, then `docker compose up -d`. Files under `/var/log`
+  are already reachable as `/host/var/log/…`. The files must be readable by UID `10001` or the
+  group of `HOST_LOGS_GID` (`adm` by default); Settings > Log sources says when no file matches
+  or access is denied.
+- **Path**: one file, e.g. `/logs/traefik/access.log` (no wildcards). As soon as it is typed, the
+  file is checked: found or not, readable or not, its detected format and its last line.
+- **Format detection** (*Automatic*): from the last lines of the file (50 at most), the
+  structured format that at least 80 % of them follow — Traefik access JSON, JSON lines, access
+  log CLF, logfmt — else plain text. It is done again when the format is changed; the format
+  found is shown in the status of the file. Choose another format to force it (a regular
+  expression is never detected).
+- **Formats**:
+  - *Plain text*: one entry per line; the level is detected as for Docker logs, a timestamp at
+    the start of the line (ISO 8601, `2006/01/02 15:04:05`, `[02/Jan/2006:15:04:05 +0200]`,
+    `Jan  2 15:04:05`) becomes the message time and is removed from the message. Indented
+    lines (stack traces) are added to the previous entry.
+  - *JSON lines*: `msg` / `message`, `time` / `ts` / `@timestamp` (text or Unix time) and
+    `level` (word or number, pino/bunyan included) are recognized; the other keys become
+    fields, nested objects with dotted names (`req.id`).
+  - *logfmt*: `key=value` pairs, as in Traefik's default logs or Go programs; same keys as JSON.
+  - *Access log (CLF)*: Common / Combined Log Format of nginx and Apache, and Traefik's access
+    log in this format (router, server URL and duration included). Fields `client_ip`,
+    `http_method`, `http_path`, `http_status`, `http_size`, `user_agent`, `http_referer`,
+    `router`, `backend`, `duration_ms`.
+  - *Traefik access (JSON)*: the JSON access log of Traefik (`accessLog.format: json`),
+    summarized as `GET app.example.com/ 200 · 12.5 ms · app@docker · 203.0.113.9`, every key in
+    the fields. Traefik's own logs in the same file are read as JSON lines.
+  - *Regular expression* (RE2 / Go syntax): the named groups `time`, `level`, `msg`, `host`
+    and `app` fill these fields, `status` gives the level of an access log, the other groups
+    become fields, e.g. `^(?P<time>\S+ \S+) \[(?P<level>\w+)\] (?P<module>\S+): (?P<msg>.*)$`.
+    A line that does not match is added to the previous entry.
+
+  For access logs, 5xx statuses are `err`, 4xx `warning`, the others `info`. A line that does
+  not fit the chosen format is kept as plain text. Fields named like LogStream's own ones
+  (`host`, `app`…) are renamed `field_host`, `field_app`…
+- **Display**: source `file`, the path in `log_file`. In the list these lines have a green left
+  edge, a light tint and the **FILE** source badge; the **Source** filter shows them alone.
+- When a file is turned on, the lines of the last hour already in it are read first
+  (`FILES_BACKFILL`, `0` = only new lines; lines without a timestamp are then left out). The
+  start of that hour is found by bisection on the dates of the lines, so a large file that holds
+  months of logs is not read from its start; a file created later is read from its start, up to
+  64 MB per second, the status showing what is left to read. The inode and an offset are saved per file in
+  `/data/files-state.json`: after a restart reading resumes there; after a rotation
+  (`access.log` renamed `access.log.1`), the end of the old file is read before the new one;
+  a file truncated in place (`copytruncate`) is read again from its start.
+
+## LogStream internal logs
+
+Logstream records its own events as logs, with **host** `logstream`, **app** the component
+(`store`, `syslog`, `docker`, `host`, `dmesg`, `audit`, `files`, `main`) and the `logstream` source:
+VictoriaLogs unreachable and back, lost batches, batches refused from the disk buffer, syslog
+listener errors, Docker API or container streams lost, sources that cannot read, start and
+stop. They are on by default from level **warning**; **Settings > Log sources > LogStream internal
+logs** turns them off or changes the minimum level (saved in `/data/selflog.json`). The same
+event (component and message) is recorded at most once every 30 seconds, with the number of
+repeats left out; events go through a bounded queue and never wait for the storage, so an
+unreachable VictoriaLogs cannot make them pile up or loop. Everything still goes to
+`docker compose logs logstream` as before. In the list, these lines have a turquoise left edge
+and an **LS** badge before the app; the **Source** filter shows them alone.
