serilog-sinks-seq VS gotty

I dont know why you want to use Graylog, but just fyi maybe https://datalust.co/seq is a alternative.

You could use something like Seq to stream all the logs back to you.

Valuable related discussion: https://www.reddit.com/r/devops/comments/13ab0l5/lightweight...

Highlights:

* Grafana and Loki seems to be favorite

* https://datalust.co/seq is the easiest to deploy (single container)

* https://github.com/tstack/lnav CLI based tool

https://datalust.co/seq (my employer) uses a custom database built with Rust. We are about to remove the last C# database code because, as the previous commenter noted, garbage collection and databases don't mix.

Over the next few years I expect we will see a lot of new databases written in Rust.

I know I’m a little late to the game, but check out Seq. If you use Docker, you can deploy Seq and Seq-input-gelf Docker containers, set gelf as the default logging driver in your daemon.json, and point it at you Seq instance. That’s pretty much it. Seq also accepts a bunch of other log inputs, like Greylog, for things that don’t run in Docker.

There are several popular logging servers that store and process structured log data. The ones I currently know are SigNoz, Seq, New Relic and Kibana. The latter is, in a nutshell, a user interface to visualize Elasticsearch data.

Another for Seq.

gotty + lnav

My bootstrap script ends in launching AutoGPT with GoTTY https://github.com/sorenisanerd/gotty

Setup GoTTY and allow it to run a single script only that will restart VPS. Assign password to GoTTY and give it to only trusted people to use. No need for them to install anything since GoTTY is basically "terminal in browser"

First, I suggest you to use forked GoTTY version since original one in your post wasn't updated for more than 6 years.

GoTTY. You dont need to know Golang, just download binary from release section for your platform

Honestly graylog/loki is only worth it if you want to have automatic processing/stats generation/graphing and complex log management rules. If you just want to read logs in a web interface I suggest either frontail (very basic, a bit too much for my taste) or lnav (I use this 99% of the time, over SSH) + gotty to access a terminal/lnav from a web browser - be careful to secure it properly as it basically gives shell access to your server.

Write a script(s) (docker container plex restart) that you will allow to run via web and point to it gotty, so users will run it as they are in terminal. (Just don't forget to set GOTTY_CREDENTIAL on an exposed link).

I created a custom image from https://github.com/sorenisanerd/gotty with lnav in order to view application logs in a browser. The Dockerfile and docker compose I used are below. I created symbolic links to the apps I am interested in into a single directory and mounted it to /docker/logs in the container. Thought I would share if someone else is looking for a lightweight solution to consolidate and view logs in a browser.

Having trouble with ssh? No problem, browser is all what people need, just run GoTTY and get full (or read only) access to any terminal in multiple tabs in web browser, as much as you need.
