In this post you are going to learn how to build a USB Flash Drive that contains a fully automated Debian installation system. At Wallix this installation system is used in addition to our traditional PXE/preseed system to deploy our products Wallix LogBox and Wallix AdminBastion.
Wallix LogBox team is happy to announce version 0.3 of PyLogsParser.
Version 0.3 is a minor release and brings the following new log format normalizers :
In a previous article we described how we model power consumption in the Deskolo project. In this article we’ll see how we use the standard technology Wake-On-Lan to save on the energy bill.
In this post you will see how to restrict commands executed on a remote server accessed via ssh for a particular user. You can have multiple reasons to do this:
In the two first tutorials (How to use RobotFramework With SeleniumLibrary and How to use RobotFramework Part 2), Mathieu Bultel showed us how to use Robot Framework to test your web applications. Unfortunately, Robot Framework doesn’t always give you means to test want you’d want to. To compensate for, Robot Framework lets us create our own test libraries.
Our goal in this tutorial will be to learn how to create those test libraries and how to use them in your test suites. This tutorial will only give the Python way of creating your libraries however they can be implemented using Java if you run Jython. I’ll assume you know at least a bit of Python during this tutorial. If you don’t, Robot Frameworks gives a great tutorial on how to begin with Python. I advise you to keep it somewhere near so you can understand what is going on throughout this guide.
Finally, if you want some more tips about this subject please go read Robot Framework user guide.
We saw in a previous article how to use the PyLogsParser library in order to analyze connection logs from a SSH server. This was a simple, basic usage of the library. In this article, we will go further and see how we can extend the parsing power of PyLogsParser by writing a new normalizer definition file.
For this, we will continue exploring authentication issues and focus on a useful application called Fail2ban.
In this article we will see how easy it is to use the pylogsparser library through a simple use case. It should help you start working on your own project involving log analysis.
Wallix LogBox team is happy to announce version 0.2 of PyLogsParser.
Version 0.2 is a minor release and brings the following features:

In our first tutorial, we explained how to use Robot Framework with the famous Selenium Library.
Robot Framework (RF) includes many libraries : In the RF package you have 8 standards test libraries (builtin, OS, Screenshot, Telnet, Collection, String, Dialogs and Remote), and many external test libraries, like Selenium Autoit, eclipse, Watir and more.
In this second tutorial, we’ll focus on the standard library called Builtin. This is one of the most important and powerfull library include with RF. This library contains many keywords for manage your test data and variables. It is automatically imported and always available.
You can find the details of the keywords here : builtin library keywords
The objective of this tutorial is to explain how to use some useful functionalities of the builtin library. Mainly we’ll explain how to make conditions (if else) and how to use for loop constructs.
