Has anyone tried centralized logging (e.g.Filebeat / Elasticsearch / Kibana) with LibreELEC?

1st Official Post

    Hey everybody,

    Not sure if this is a "General" question or if it's more appropriate for Development or Addons, but has anybody wired LibreELEC into a centralized logging system using a tool like Filebeat or similar?

    I've taken to consolidating the logs for all the various things on my network (minecraft servers, mysql, prototypes for work, etc.) using the ELK stack, and I'd love to plug my LibreELEC box into that.

    The "easiest" way is probably to run filebeat right on the box and point it at the kodi/libreelec log locations, so I'm wondering if anyone has tried to tackle that. Or if there's an alternate solution, what it might be.

    Thanks!

    There are users who've wanted centralised logging before so if you have Logstash in your stack we have an existing rsyslog daemon add-on in our repo. I don't recall ever hearing/seeing someone capture logs with Filebeat, but since we can run Docker and there is probably an ARM container with Filebeat on a docker repo somewhere, it should be do-able.

    OK, cool. I do have logstash so I'll check out rsyslog, but since posting I've also figured out how to do it with filebeat & docker on another system, so one way or another I think I can figure it out.

    Thanks for the help!
