I’m pretty new to selfhosting, but one thing that I know to take seriously is log collection. Since there are a lot of different type of logs (kernel log, application logs, etc) and logs come in many different formats (binary, json, strings) - it’s no easy task to collect them centrally and look through them whenever neccessarly.

I’ve looked at grafana and tried the agent briefly, but it wasn’t as easy as I thought (and it might be a too big tool for my needs). So I thought to ask the linuxlemmy community to get some inspiration.

    Do you push your logs regularly to a central storage, or do you just SSH into the machines regularly to look at the logs?
