      @travisdh1 That does show a lot of information, which is scrolling very quickly!

      I guess it works

        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.

                      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?

                              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.

                                      Let me know how it goes. I'd love to install another free server around here.

                                      TAKE THAT MICROSOFT!

                                          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. . . .
