log server [OT]
can anyone recommend a log server they know and love? (theres a myriad of options out there!) our basic arch entails a number of windows services and scheduled tasks running across multiple VMs I was thinking of having each 'thing' log to disk (as always) but also log to the windows event log. the log server (whether an off the shelf solution or just a powershell script) would connect into each machine and dump it into a db. Error rules would then be run on the collected data

Last year I wrote a log4net appender which buffers and delivers rows in efficient batches, and I think there are similar public addons for other popular log frameworks.

Re: log server [OT]
Have you considered Serilog and Seq? Serilog - https://serilog.net/ Seq - https://getseq.net/ You can use Serilog for logging to all the places you need to (so log files, event log, etc and directly to Seq) and then view them directly in Seq. See: https://docs.getseq.net/v3/docs/using-serilog And https://nblumhardt.com/2014/06/durable-log-shipping-from-serilog-to-seq/ https://nblumhardt.com/2016/02/remote-level-control-in-serilog-using-seq/ On 11 May 2017 at 09:16, Greg Keogh wrote: > can anyone recommend a log server they know and love?

RE: log server [OT]
I have been looking into using NLog + Logentries as a means to expose and view what is occurring within our systems. Open to what other people are using.

Another one I've seen (but not used) is Exceptionless for log viewing. https://exceptionless.com/ On 11 May 2017 at 09:56, Rob Andrew wrote: > I have been looking into using NLog + Logentries as a means to expose and > view what is occurring within our systems.

Re: log server [OT]
We use Datadog right now at work. https://www.datadoghq.com/ Works really well. We pump logs from applications into the windows event log. Datadog will scrape that and aggregate into central location along with information like CPU, Memory etc etc. Can take integrations from heaps of different applications. We use it to instrument all our services, web applications, rabbit queues, redis, sqlserver etc... Can fully reccomend. At previous job we used graylog in-house and it was also fantastic. But it did mean you needed to maintain your own infrastructure. I know another team at current work used a local ELK (elastic search, logstash, kibana) kitout and it's working great for them.
