ansible-openwisp2 VS Apache Log4j 2

OpenWISP (https://openwisp.org) tries to do this and it's Python and Django based.

Last time I checked it out, it seems like they keep configuration in an intermediate format that is then translated to manufacturer-specific formats, so it should be possible to build a Unifi converter for that.

OpenWISP (might be closest thing I've seen to what you're looking for)

I also found OpenWISP https://openwisp.org

OpenWISP is a good choice for anyone interested in Computer Networks.

Time to flash openwrt and use openwisp?

I think you are wrong. I have been working on https://openwisp.org for some time and implementing a controller which is robust and can handle many different corner cases and offer good functionality and also ease of use is a challenge and requires several people working full time on it. Even simple functionality it's a lot of work, unless for simple you mean really trivial. If it wasn't hard, there would be many alternatives but as far as I know there aren't many.

I'm a core dev of OpenWISP, what do you want to know specifically? Yes, documentation needs to be improved, I am dedicating some time at regular intervals to do that, not enough to make it easy to learn, but I am optimistic that over time and with more contributors things will improve, in the meantime, I suggest anyone struggling with OpenWISP to use the support channels and keep insisting. The monitoring module needs some additional ansible configuration to work and there's an open issue to support this in ansible-openwisp2: https://github.com/openwisp/ansible-openwisp2/issues/195.Thanks for your patience.In the meantime, anyone using OpenWISP successfully, I ask you to please help us a bit, there's many small thing you can do for free in your spare time to help us: https://openwisp.io/docs/general/help-us.html

I don't think that's a good example. While Apache devs are volunteers and Microsoft devs are employees, they were criticized for their slow response time and seeming lack of urgency until it was far too late.

The official website. The vulnerability was introduced in 2.0-beta7 which was released in 2013.

However, there are many open source projects that are widely used but not well-known, including cURL, ImageMagick, MyCLI, Homebrew, Apache Log4j, and OpenSSL. This article will take a closer look at these unsung heroes of the open source world. I do not want to give them a business model or financial advice in this article. This largely depends on the author's personal experience and values. I just want to raise more awareness about these open source projects.

What you need is log4j-core, what you downloaded is some kind of connector between log4j and JUL. Tbh I don't know what JUL is, but that's not important. You can get log4j-core on from the official website - https://logging.apache.org/log4j/2.x/ or in maven repo. In case you're not using maven, I highly, highly recommend you using it for managing your dependencies.

> When it was first revealed in early December 2021, the Log4Shell bug was described as one of the most severe security vulnerabilities ever.

> The Apache Software Foundation, which maintains the open-source tool, quickly released a patch...

Apache horribly mismanaged this and did not release a patch until it was already widely known and being exploited in the wild. They also messed up and had to release several subsequent patches to actually fix the vulnerability.

Remember: this vulnerability was disclosed to them in November.

Think back to the Log4J event, were you affected? (https://github.com/apache/logging-log4j2)
