A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

Hey everyone ! I finally decided to monitor my applications more closely with Grafana. However I'm having issues building dashboards their logs.

Their logs are currently sent over syslog (in RFC3164 format) into telegraf. But it simply puts the whole message into the message field, so I can't use specific fields (eg. URL for httpd, source IP for DNS requests, username for SSH, …) to build graphs.

I've read about grok patterns, but I have no idea how to use them.

Would someone have any pointer on how I could make sense out of these logs for later use ?
