Show HN: Hat-syslog – Syslog Server with real time web UI

Does anyone know of other tools like this which are a web UI of systemd logs on a VPS which I access, self hosted, from a website and secure behind a password?

I use New Relic for APM already, but I was surprised to find that New Relic does not support Debian 11 for their default infrastructure agent to forward logs from?

Grafana has a self-hosted all-in-one docker compose for Loki, Grafana, and Promtail: https://grafana.com/docs/loki/latest/installation/docker/

I love pretty much everything these folks do.

I did have a quick play with Grafana Cloud using the default dashboards for their linux agent were so incredibly slow when trying to navigate simple metrics.

That has not been my experience whatsoever. At work we run our own self-hosted Grafana open-source and it's been fantastic. I've also run it on my own Raspberry Pi 4B at home and it's worked very well.

Yeah, that's not great. The interface seems snappier for me, but I may just be partial. I dunno. There is no perfect solution, but Grafana has been pretty amazing in my experiences.

I Redhat's cockpit tool can provide this. If you just want the bare log (no UI) there's systemd-journal-gatewayd.
