Anyone using this combination? The general rsyslogs are working fine but I was looking at sending my nginx logs over and they advise to create a /etc/rsyslog.d/21-nginx-loggly.conf which in turn points to /var/log/nginx/ which unfortunately does not contain every hosted site's logs. Any advice how to do this? Any other preferred external logging system except loggly? Initially I gave papertrail a try and was really happy but its free plan is way too limited so I found loggly. I wouldn't mind an open-source self hosted external logging solution but everything I googled seemed either too expensive or I couldn't find any tutorials.
no I haven't changed anything. I just read the how-to by loggly which I explained above and which is monitoring /var/log/nginx/ but ISPCFG3 apparently stores each websites nginx logs inside /var/log/ispconfig/httpd/siteX/ so if I follow loggly's instructions I need to create one such config file for each website?
Hi, what are you trying to log, ie what do you want out of it, reports?? showing what??? The reason I ask is that there are a few free commercial products you can try. HP ArcSight Logger software is free http://www8.hp.com/us/en/software-solutions/siem-data-collection-log-management-platform/index.html and you can do something like 250MB a day with the free license which should be enough for website traffic. There is also a free license for Splunk as well which can give you some pretty good analysis.
To be honest, I started by finding papertrail, I just loved the ease with which you can have a tail running in a web browser and filter it to quickly find stuff. BUT their free plan only covers 100MB / month which is definitely too little for my needs :-( I then researched for competitive products and found loggly which does so much more. I am currently running/testing my own installation of graylog, seems to do everything loggly does but self-hosted. Which kinda makes my question moot as each product has a different way to add app logs.
