# Simple Logs
|
|
|
|
A dead-simple log viewer using Grafana + Loki. Much easier than ELK/Kibana!
|
|
|
|
## Features
|
|
- **ALL logs in one place** - Docker containers + system logs
|
|
- **Simple interface** - Just one dashboard, no complex setup
|
|
- **Fast & lightweight** - Uses 10x less resources than ELK
|
|
- **Real-time** - Logs appear instantly
|
|
- **No configuration** - Works out of the box
|
|
|
|
## Quick Start
|
|
|
|
1. **Install**
|
|
```bash
|
|
dropshell install simple-logs
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
2. **Access**
|
|
- Go to: `http://<server-ip>:3000`
|
|
- Login: `admin` / `admin` (change on first login)
|
|
|
|
3. **View Logs**
|
|
- Click the **Dashboards** icon (4 squares) on left
|
|
- Click **"Simple Logs"**
|
|
- That's it! All your logs are there
|
|
|
|
## How to Use
|
|
|
|
### Filter by Container
|
|
Click any `container_name` label to see only that container's logs
|
|
|
|
### Search Text
|
|
Use the search box at the top to find specific text
|
|
|
|
### Change Time Range
|
|
Top-right corner - set to "Last 5 minutes" for recent logs
|
|
|
|
### View Details
|
|
Click any log line to expand and see full details
|
|
|
|
## What Gets Logged
|
|
- All Docker container logs
|
|
- System logs (/var/log/syslog)
|
|
- Authentication logs (/var/log/auth.log)
|
|
|
|
## Ports
|
|
- `3000` - Grafana Web UI
|
|
- `3100` - Loki API (internal)
|
|
|
|
## Why This Instead of ELK?
|
|
- **10x simpler** - One dashboard vs Kibana's complexity
|
|
- **10x smaller** - ~200MB RAM vs 2-3GB for ELK
|
|
- **Instant setup** - No index patterns, no field mappings
|
|
- **Just works** - No configuration needed
|
|
|
|
## Advanced: Custom Queries
|
|
In the logs panel, you can use LogQL queries:
|
|
- `{container_name="myapp"}` - Specific container
|
|
- `{job="syslog"} |= "error"` - System errors
|
|
- `{job="docker"} |~ "(?i)error|warn"` - All Docker warnings/errors |
