Logship at home

There is a lot happening in your homelab.

A media server, a router, a few containers, and the machine you keep meaning to check. Run the free single-node Community edition and bring their data together on hardware you already own.

Keep an eye on the machine

Track memory and disk use, watch processes, and collect service logs with the Logship agent. A dashboard can help explain why a machine is busy or when storage is running out.

Watch SSH logins

Use the Linux authentication event source to explore successful and failed authentication activity. Add host and time filters, then build an alert around a condition you want to investigate.

Configure agent sources →

See what Plex is doing

Collect Plex logs and exporter data to explore playback activity, library contents, and connected clients alongside the host’s disk and memory use.

Follow the Plex monitoring guide →

Include the router

The agent has OpenWrt deployment instructions covering supported targets, configuration, and service management with procd.

Install on OpenWrt →

Keep it local

Your data does not need to leave your network. Internet access may be needed to obtain installation artifacts or read external data sources; the installed stack can operate offline with local dependencies.
