Any tool to visualize Traefik access logs?

Submitted ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩ by ⁨ohshit604@sh.itjust.works⁩ to ⁨selfhosted@lemmy.world⁩

Afternoon y’all -

I just spent the last few days fiddling with Prometheus under the impression I could visualize Traefik’s access logs with Perses however, after finally getting these three to communicate with one another it seems that Prometheus lacks the capability to query access logs.

I don’t host my own html/php, I typically find docker images like Invidious or Redlib spin them up and reverse proxy them, my knowledge towards html/php is very minimal so when I read about adding files to the root path of my domain it may seem straight forward for some people but makes no sense to me, apologies if that comes off as ignorant.

I digress, I stumbled upon GoAccess and gave it a shot but from what I’m reading it seems that it needs access to the html to the application display reporting in a web-browser which I genuinely got no idea on how to do, Traefik currently spits access logs in a .log file which I assume would be enough?

I’ve had a similar question about nginx recently and it should roughly be the same: lemmy.nocturnal.garden/post/161470

GoAccess helps to get a better glance, but eventually I want to set up Loki as well.

I use alloy to scrape my traefik logs and pass them to Loki. Then I use logQL to parse out the info and regexp to format so I can use it in a visualization. I don’t have my configs handy at the moment but I can try and get them at some point to share something close to what I do as a starting point.

  This. Prometheus is for metrics, Loki is for logs. I’ve not come across Perses before, but it looks like it does a similar job to Grafana which integrates really well with Prometheus and Loki (and is produced by the same organisation as both of them).

Goaccess reads the Traefik log and spits out an HTML file you can then serve via e.g. Nginx. Works for me.

  Thank you for this! I never used Nginx directly and only thought of it as a reverse proxy but I had no idea it was capable of hosting html/php.
  
  I went back to the drawing board so to say and was able to get GoAccess running, granted non-containerized, and was able to reverse proxy the Nginx instance via Traefik.

Grafana is how I’ve done it, using Loki to ingest and store the logs, and Prometheus for metrics.

There’s also Goaccess which is like 1000x easier to use, and works pretty well.
