Share multiple log files from multiple servers with multiple users

Conceptually what most people do once their server park starts to grow is a move away from inspecting log files. They consolidate all log data in a “big data” solution and add a (typically web based) front end where all applicable users can log into to visualize and search that data.

Products are for example Splunk, ELK stack (elastic search , log stash and Kibana), Graylog and many others.

Some applications can be configured to send their log events directly to the products above, for those that can’t such products come with log shipping agents that will ingest your existing log files.

You can then use standard dashboards, create your own , add alerts, search for specific events and more easily make correlations between events registered in different servers and parts of your landscape
