LogForge

Version 1.0.7 ✓ Stable

Synthetic event log generator with a FastAPI control plane, Typer CLI, templates, and outputs. Distributed on GitHub Releases (not PyPI).

Quick command (copy)
sudo tar xzf logforge-1.0.7-linux-x86_64.tar.gz -C /opt

Download the Linux bundle first, then run this from the directory that contains the file. Adjust paths if you unpack somewhere other than /opt (see Installation below for caveats).

Download Files

Production installs use the Linux x86_64 tarball (unpacks to /opt/logforge when extracted under /opt). An optional Python sdist (.tar.gz) is for macOS, Windows, Apple Silicon, or development installs. See the README quick start.

Installation

Recommended Linux x86_64 — production tarball

Matches README: Quick start (production). Full operator layout, systemd notes, and checksums: linux-tarball.md. (Same general idea as unpacking a Splunk Enterprise .tgz—see Splunk’s tar install notes.)

Before you unpack

  • Some non-GNU versions of tar may not support -C. To install into /opt/logforge, either cd /opt or place the archive in /opt before running tar. That approach works for any directory you can write to.
  • The bundle does not create a Linux account. If you plan to run logforge service install, the documented service user is typically logmgr—create that user (or your chosen account) first if your policy requires a dedicated user.
  • Confirm the disk partition has enough free space for the install tree and the log volume you intend to keep under LOGFORGE_HOME.

Expanding the archive creates a logforge directory in the current working directory by default. To install into /opt/logforge, use -C /opt as below.

  1. Download logforge-1.0.7-linux-x86_64.tar.gz (link in the table).
  2. Unpack into /opt (creates /opt/logforge).
sudo tar xzf logforge-1.0.7-linux-x86_64.tar.gz -C /opt
export PATH=/opt/logforge/app/bin:$PATH
export LOGFORGE_HOME=/opt/logforge
logforge init --force
logforge start

logforge start backgrounds on POSIX like a typical service; use logforge start -f (or --foreground) to stay attached. Stop with logforge stop. Data and config live under LOGFORGE_HOME (default /opt/logforge for this layout).

Optional: Python sdist (venv install)

Use this on macOS, Windows, Linux (including Apple Silicon or non–x86_64), or when you want a normal venv install. Requires Python 3.9 or newer (3.9–3.12 per pyproject.toml).

  1. Create and activate a venv.
python3 -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate   # Windows: .venv\Scripts\activate
  1. Install from the downloaded file (same directory as the .tar.gz), or straight from GitHub:
pip install logforge-1.0.7.tar.gz

# or, without downloading manually:
pip install "https://github.com/Fulcrum-Technology-Solutions/LogForge/releases/download/v1.0.7/logforge-1.0.7.tar.gz"

After install, the logforge CLI is on your venv’s PATH. See linux-single-instance.md for broader single-instance layout (including venv-based installs).

Verify the CLI
logforge --version

Verify download checksums

If the release includes checksums.txt, compare SHA256 locally after downloading:

# macOS / Linux
shasum -a 256 logforge-1.0.7-linux-x86_64.tar.gz

# Windows (PowerShell / cmd)
certutil -hashfile logforge-1.0.7-linux-x86_64.tar.gz SHA256
# Python sdist
shasum -a 256 logforge-1.0.7.tar.gz
