What is everyone using for their logging solution? So far I’ve not really done anything and just tail the container log when something is going wrong but a more long term, robust log aggregator would be great.

At work I’ve used things like data dog and sumo logic for logs and would love a small self hosted version of that. I don’t think I need long log retention (more than a day or two) but retention + search and maybe the option to create custom aggregations based on those logs would be awesome.

    Not sure if it answers your question, but I use Portainer to check the different docker containers I am running. It does not allow me to check the ‘docker-runtime’ logs themselves though, only the logfiles of each of the running containers. It also allows easy term connection if you want, although I usually do that directly form the terminal itself.

      Yeah I think that would give me essentially the same access that I have now but through a GUI. I’m hoping for something that will cram my logs into a data store of some sort and present them on a GUI with search, filter, aggregations, etc…
