Haiku needs a graphical event/syslog viewer. This would just be a GUI for viewing logs produced by the Launch Daemon, Syslog Daemon etc.

Implementations on other systems include: Windows Event Viewer, KSystemLog, Apple system Console, Gnome Log File Viewer.

The application should have the following features:

• filter events by component
• filter events by severity
• filter events by host
• filter events by date/time
• filter events by custom criteria
• basic event monitoring (this should be outsourced to ActivityMonitor on Haiku)
• event query/search assistance

For part 1 we expect to see a main window with the ability to open and display log files. Follow on tasks will add further functionality. The application should use Haiku's layout management from the start.
