Log Collection (lemmy.procrastinati.org)

I'm in the process of re-configuring my home lab and would like to get some help figuring out log collection. My setup was a hodgepodge of systems/OSes using rsyslog to send syslogs to a syslog listener on my qnap but that's not going to work anymore (partly because the qnap is gone).

My end-goal is going to be as homogeneous as I can manage. Mostly Debian 12 systems (phy and vm) and Docker containers. Does anyone know of a FOSS solution that can ingest journald, syslog, and if it's even possible to send docker logs to a log collector?

Thanks

All these new fang projects, but really I just use remote rsyslogd. Works just fine, super robust, easy setup. You can literally be up an.running within minutes.

That's been my go-to in the past but since Debian 12 leaned into journald I was looking into ways to work with that.

It's insane that journald doesn't include a remote option. A feature used in industry for over two decades. 🤦
