Ask HN: How do you monitor server logs

2 points·codegeek··4 comments

How do you do it ? For example, if you have apache running on Ubuntu, you can go into command line and do a grep or even tail -f /var/log/apache2/access.log

What simple tools/services are out there to monitor stuff like this ? Realtime is an added-bonus.

There are many ways, icinga and check_mk have logwatch module to alert on messages matching a regex.

Log aggregation can be done with file beat (logstash) with kibana as frontend. Then there is sentry (python) for logs.
