An open-source SIEM system built with Python Django for log management, risk assessment, and asset tracking.
LogESP is an open-source Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) system built with Python Django. It centralizes log collection, parsing, and analysis to help organizations detect security threats, manage risks, and track assets. The system supports forensic investigations and aligns with NIST guidelines for incident response and risk assessment.
Security teams, system administrators, and organizations needing a self-hosted SIEM for monitoring logs, assessing risks, and managing assets without proprietary software dependencies.
LogESP offers a minimalist, security-focused design with no client-side scripting and no credentials required on log sources. It provides a comprehensive, open-source alternative to commercial SIEMs, emphasizing simplicity, extensibility, and adherence to NIST standards.

Open-Awesome is built by the community, for the community. Submit a project, suggest an awesome list, or help improve the catalog on GitHub.
No client-side scripting in the web interface reduces attack vectors, and it doesn't require credentials on log sources, relying on syslog daemons for enhanced security.
Risk management is based on NIST guidelines, making it suitable for organizations needing to adhere to standard security frameworks like incident response and forensics.
Embraces minimalism for ease of understanding, maintenance, and extension, as highlighted in the design principles.
Includes hardware and software asset management to support forensic investigations and incident response, integrating with the SIEM core.
The project's copyright is 2018 with no evident recent updates, risking missing modern security features and community support.
Installation documentation is only for Ubuntu, indicating poor cross-platform compatibility and increased setup complexity for other systems.
Lack of client-side scripting results in a less interactive user experience, hindering real-time updates and advanced visualizations compared to modern SIEMs.
