Log.io - Real-time log monitoring in your browser

Powered by node.js + socket.io

How does it work?

Harvesters watch log files for changes, send new log messages to the server via TCP, which broadcasts to web clients via socket.io.

Log streams are defined by mapping file paths to a stream name in harvester configuration.

Users browse streams and nodes in the web UI, and activate (stream, node) pairs to view and search log messages in screen widgets.

Install Server & Harvester

  1. Install via npm

    npm install -g log.io --user "ubuntu"

  2. Run server

    log.io-server

  3. Configure harvester

    nano ~/.log.io/harvester.conf

  4. Run harvester

    log.io-harvester

  5. Browse to http://localhost:28778

Server TCP Interface

Harvesters connect to the server via TCP, and write properly formatted strings to the socket. Third party harvesters can send messages to the server using the following commands:

Send a log message

+log|my_stream|my_node|info|this is log message\r\n

Register a new node

+node|my_node\r\n

Register a new node, with stream associations

+node|my_node|my_stream1,my_stream2\r\n

Remove a node

-node|my_node\r\n
