Can you please help me see which line exactly runs when I run an application ?
Hey there, I'm planning to learn Opensearch and I'm scared shitless when I see how much code is there. I want to see which lines execute when I try to run the application since I'm sure I don't know where to start.

Goodbye AWS OpenSearch, hello self-hosted ElasticSearch on EC2
The future of OpenSearch doesn't look bright. AWS OpenSearch project on github has tanked since AWS took over while ElasticSearch project is keeping up a steady pace.

About reading logs
We don't pull logs, we forward logs to a centralized logging service.

Self hosted log paraer
opensearch - amazon fork of Elasticsearch https://opensearch.org/docs/latestif you do this an have distributed log sources you'd use logstash for, bin off logstash and use vector (https://vector.dev/) its better out of the box for SaaS stuff.

creating a centralize syslog server with elastic search
I have done something similar in the past: you can send the logs through a centralized syslog servers (I suggest syslog-ng) and from there ingest into ELK. For parsing I am advice to use something like Vector, is a lot more faster than logstash. When you have your logs ingested correctly, you can create your own dashboard in Kibana. If this fit your requirements, no need to install nginx (unless you want to use as reverse proxy for Kibana), php and mysql.

Show HN: Homelab Monitoring Setup with Grafana
I think there's nothing currently that combines both logging and metrics into one easy package and visualizes it, but it's also something I would love to have.
Vector[1] would work as the agent, being able to collect both logs and metrics. But the issue would then be storing it. I'm assuming the Elastic Stack might now be able to do both, but it's just to heavy to deal with in a small setup.
A couple of months ago I took a brief look at that when setting up logging for my own homelab (https://pv.wtf/posts/logging-and-the-homelab). Mostly looking at the memory usage to fit it on my synology. Quickwit[2] and Log-Store[3] both come with built in web interfaces that reduce the need for grafana, but neither of them do metrics.

Retaining Logs generated by service running in pod.
Log to stdout/stderr and collect your logs with a tool like vector (vector.dev) and send it to something like Grafana Loki.

Lightweight logging on RPi?
I would recommend that you run vector as a systems service so you don't have to worry about managing it. Here is a basic config to do that - https://github.com/vectordotdev/vector/blob/master/distribution/systemd/vector.service .

Monitoring traefik access logs easily
You could have a look at Grafana Loki, it's easy to run (single binary for a small setup). Shipping your logs can be done by Promtail or something like Vector. They're both lightweight log shippers with support for Loki.
