🦀 Rust System Tools

RustLicenseBuild Status

Collection of high-performance CLI system tools written in Rust. Fast, safe, and production-ready utilities for system administration, monitoring, and analysis.

📦 Tools

1. 📊 Log Analyzer (loglyzer)

Powerful log file analyzer with pattern matching, statistics, and real-time monitoring.

Features:

  • Parse multiple log formats (Common Log, JSON, custom patterns)
  • Real-time log monitoring with --follow
  • Statistical analysis (error rates, response times, traffic patterns)
  • Filter by date range, log level, or regex patterns
  • Generate reports in JSON, CSV, or Markdown
  • Colorized output for better readability

Usage:

# Analyze access logs
loglyzer analyze /var/log/nginx/access.log
# Monitor logs in real-time
loglyzer follow /var/log/app.log --level ERROR
# Generate statistics
loglyzer stats /var/log/app.log --format json
# Filter by date range
loglyzer analyze app.log --from 2026-02-01 --to 2026-02-26

2. 🔍 Performance Monitor (perfmon)

System performance monitoring tool with resource tracking and alerting.

Features:

  • Real-time CPU, memory, disk, and network monitoring
  • Process-level resource tracking
  • Historical data collection with configurable intervals
  • Threshold-based alerting
  • Export metrics to Prometheus format
  • Beautiful TUI (Terminal UI) dashboard

Usage:

# Start monitoring with TUI dashboard
perfmon dashboard
# Monitor specific process
perfmon process --pid 1234
# Record metrics to file
perfmon record --interval 5s --output metrics.json
# Export to Prometheus
perfmon export --format prometheus

3. ⚡ Process Manager (procman)

Advanced process management utility with batch operations.

Features:

  • List processes with detailed information
  • Filter by name, user, CPU, or memory usage
  • Batch operations (kill, pause, resume)
  • Process tree visualization
  • Resource limits enforcement
  • Generate process reports

Usage:

# List all processes
procman list
# Find processes by name
procman find nginx
# Kill processes using regex
procman kill --pattern "worker-.*"# Show process tree
procman tree --pid 1
# Monitor top consumers
procman top --by cpu --limit 10

4. 🔒 File System Auditor (fsaudit)

File system monitoring and security auditing tool.

Features:

  • Monitor file changes in real-time
  • Detect unauthorized modifications
  • Calculate and verify file hashes
  • Track file permissions and ownership changes
  • Generate audit reports
  • Integration with inotify (Linux) and FSEvents (macOS)

Usage:

# Watch directory for changes
fsaudit watch /var/www/html
# Verify file integrity
fsaudit verify --baseline baseline.json /etc
# Generate baseline snapshot
fsaudit snapshot /etc --output baseline.json
# Audit permissions
fsaudit audit /var --check-permissions

5. 🌐 Network Tool (netutil)

Network diagnostics and analysis toolkit.

Features:

  • Port scanner with service detection
  • TCP/UDP connectivity testing
  • DNS lookup and reverse DNS
  • HTTP/HTTPS endpoint testing
  • SSL/TLS certificate information
  • Bandwidth testing
  • Network interface statistics

Usage:

# Scan ports
netutil scan localhost --ports 1-1000
# Test HTTP endpoint
netutil http https://api.example.com
# DNS lookup
netutil dns google.com
# SSL certificate info
netutil ssl https://example.com
# Interface statistics
netutil stats --interface eth0

6. 📦 Disk Analyzer (disklyzer)

Disk space analysis and visualization tool.

Features:

  • Recursive directory size calculation
  • Find largest files and directories
  • Duplicate file detection
  • Interactive tree visualization
  • Export reports in various formats
  • Fast parallel scanning

Usage:

# Analyze directory
disklyzer analyze /home/user
# Find large files
disklyzer top /var --size 100MB
# Find duplicates
disklyzer duplicates /home --by hash# Visualize directory tree
disklyzer tree /var/log --depth 3
