Please share your recommendations for open source external web based syslogger (for Ubuntu).
Thx
I’ve also been considering a centralized syslog server for my home network. As it stands now, It’s a pain in the butt the troubleshoot across several servers and VMs to fix problems. So I would also be interested in some recommendations.
@drowsy
I finally got tired of pfsense sysloggig - this is my last drop https://forum.netgate.com/topic/140137/how-long-entry-should-be-found-in-the-logs/8
and setup an external log system https://www.splunk.com/ (anybody has better recommendations?)
Here are some links to get started if you are interested:
Installation and setup was very easy.
Now how to use splunk? – that’s a different story, but I hope we will be able to figure it out 
Alright cool thanks, I’ll check out Splunk. I’ve been trying to set up a Syslog server on my FreeNAS server, but the VM support is failing me. Or maybe I’m just doing something very, very wrong.
I wish there was a plugin available for a bootstrap syslog server… 
We use Splunk at work, the people who use it more seem to like it, but there is a learning curve to configure your queries to get useful info.
ELK stack works great, guides out there for pfsense + ELK stack. Graylog is another popular solution.
Look in the Splunk apps many free apps that might fix your needs. RTFM
