Secure and open-source logging agent

No need to execute unknown code, as we use open source Promtail as log-agent. You can also roll out your own using our secure log API.

Your logs are not persisted, they are only held on memory until we send you Telegram notification.

To avoid spam, we only send notification for any error happening every minute.

Before you continue, set your client id below, or get link to instructions from our Telegram bot so we can automatically create correct configuration files for you.

Client Id:

Easy to start

1. Add the bot on Telegram
2. Bot gives you token that will be used to connect your logging to Telegram
3. • Install Promtail on your server with LogNotifier bot configured as client
   • or
   • call our API with your own error log reporting
4. Start getting notifications on Telegram about new log entries

Edit /etc/promtail/promtail-local-config.yaml to contain the logs you want to be monitored.

It defaults to monitoring only /var/log/apache2/error.log.

Check Promtail official configuration page for additional details.
