gotty VS graylog

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.

sorenisanerd/gotty: Share your terminal as a web application

Graylog: An open source log management platform that provides real-time visibility into security events and facilitates incident response.

Looks like the fix for this went in on March 28 and this should have been included in the April bugfix release 5.0.6

Sure! I use the Open Source of Graylog to search and build reports from the data. It sits on its own Droplet

Check out Graylog - https://www.graylog.org/ Graylog stores everything in elasticssearch, so you gan also use it as a datasource in Grafana.

Graylog

I use this to monitor my reverse proxy (SWAG) and fail2ban logs in conjunction. It's not as streamlined as GoAccess, GrayLog, Grafana, etc . . . but it is very personal. I divide all my connections into three buckets: Home, Outside, and Known Devices; and fail2ban statistics are layered against the all connections.

Graylog is an open-source centralized log management and analytics tool. It collects, enhances, correlates, searches, and visualizes all your log data in one location to uncover patterns and trends for application and IT infrastructure.
