i need to visualize all logs from remote dir
You can do that with something like mtail. Basically write expressions that match your logs and produce metrics.
-
Tool to scrape (semi)-structured log files (e.g. log4j)
mtail is a standard tool for this.
-
Free netflow collector that forwards messages to a syslog server?
I use goflow2 to do something like this. I don't specifically use syslog itself for this, but mtail to generate the metrics.
-
How to easily gather IPv6 VS IPv4 usage on a web server?
I can recommend mtail. Here is a good example nginx script.
-
Nginx upstream_response_time average per API route?
If not, https://github.com/google/mtail might be a good option.
-
Sorting a custom metric by multiple labels
Count the lines with mtail. You can regexp match the values out into labels.
-
Alternatives to ELK (filebeat, logstash, kibana, elasticsearch)
If you want to extract whitebox metrics from logs, maybe all you need is mtail.
-
Prometheus Custom Query/Metric based on STDOUT
You can use mtail (https://github.com/google/mtail) for this. You'll need to figure out how to plug it into your setup, but mtail will do the metrics from logs thing.
-
open-source tools to monitor JSON logs for unexpected patterns?
Convert your logs to metrics with mtail.
-
Server metrics monitoring and reporting for centos?
For nginx, you'll need to setup a log parser like mtail because it doesn't really have much for metrics to begin with.

You don't need analytics on your blog
If one wants server-side metrics with a little more info than the author's "hacky little script", there's always goaccess [1], which functions in broadly the same way. I even use it with Firebase Hosting-hosted sites via [2] (which I wrote).

Using Analytics on My Website
> Just use GoAcces for fuck's sake.
GoAccess seems pretty cool and is probably a good task for the job, when you need something simple, thanks for recommending it: https://goaccess.io/
Even if you have analytics of some sort already in place, I think it'd probably still be a nice idea to run GoAccess on your server, behind some additional auth, so you can check up on how the web servers are performing.
That said, I'd still say that the analytics solutions out there, especially self-hostable ones like Matomo, are quite nice and can have both UIs that are very easy to interact with for the average person (e.g. filtering data by date range, or by page/view that was interacted with), as well as have a plethora of different datasets: https://matomo.org/features/
I think it can be useful to have a look at what sorts of devices are mostly being used to interact with your site, what operating systems and browsers are in use, how people navigate through the site, where do they enter the site from and how they find it, what the front end performance is like, or even how your e-commerce site is doing, at a glance, in addition to seeing how this changes over time.
People have also said good things about Plausible Analytics as well: https://plausible.io/

How do {you} analyze apache log files?
Maybe, if it's just local and need just information, maybe https://goaccess.io is an option.

Monitoring traefik access logs easily
I heard about https://goaccess.io/ (and even tested it) but first, nothing about tracing logs, and I think that the provided HTML dashboard isn't enough security-oriented for me but it's more about monitoring your customer volume... It does -partially- fit my case.

Google Analytics alternative that protects your data and your customers' privacy
Loved AWStats! Still can be useful — but bots, client side caching, CDNs, and did I mention bots..? have made the data hard to rely on for much. A while ago I switched from AWStats to GoAccess (https://goaccess.io/) for this kind of thing. I prefer its interface, and it's way way faster to churn through big log files (C vs. Perl).

Show HN: Google Analytics alternative with the most generous free tier
matomo and goatcounter are nice, but there are even solutions which don't need any extra CPU or any extra client request:
• https://goaccess.io/
• https://www.awstats.org/
Both of them are free/open-source.
