SysLog Forwarding for XenServer
-
So if that works, then I need to setup a easy way to view these messages..
Is splunk the go to solution for this?

I used Splunk because it is free and easy.
(For me.)I tried setting up a few other things, and gave up. (Like loggly.) I want to get back to other logging stuff some day, but it works for me.

Splunk is free only for very small sizes. Once your logs grow or you have more than a few servers you normally overrun the free part.
-
So what would be a good aggregation tool to be able to view the logs?
If Splunk stops at a tiny level..... I won't bother with it.

500MB per day.

You'll want to avoid logg.ly before someone recommends it, then. That is 200MB per day.

So elk/logstash then?
Wasn't there a post around here by scott on how to set this up?

Has anyone setup syslog with Elk (with Elasticsearch 2.3 or greater) and Kibana
-
@DustinB3403 Maybe one of these?

I was actually just looking at that and Kibana...
I'm trying to determine if I can run it locally or if I need a DO account to do it...

I'm pretty sure my walkthrough covers that.
-
@scottalanmiller This one, correct?
-
-
Let me know how it goes. I'd love to install another free server around here.
TAKE THAT MICROSOFT!

I'm getting stuck at
./load.shwith
Loading dashboards to http://localhost:9200 in .kibana Loading search Cache-transactions: curl: (7) Failed connect to localhost:9200; Connection timed out -
You know if I wasn't tired I would've noticed that @scottalanmiller made that a bash file.......
-
Sadly the connection timed out still......
I might have to make a clean installation tomorrow and deal with it then. . . .
-
And filebeat is not able to be found...
Ok coming back to this from my house where I can work with a beer..
