Creating time lapse videos from log messages

A couple of you asked how I created the time lapse videos visualizing connection attempts to my router. I used the new geoip2 parser of syslog-ng 3.11, Elasticsearch for storage, Kibana for showing the map and OpenShot to convert screenshots into a movie.

Read the details from my blog at https://www.balabit.com/blog/creating-time-lapse-videos-log-messages-using-openshot/

I’m not really sure if it has any practical use, but definitely a nice eye candy which can raise attention towards security of your network.

Do you have any other suggestions for log data to be visualized in a similar way?

Maps with connection locations are popular, I guess :slight_smile: https://github.com/CZ-NIC/knot-resolver/issues/27
