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

You can also take a look at open telemetry. It's a huge open source project with lots of functionality. Handles logs just fine and also can provide metrics and traces too. Might be overkill for your needs but it's an excellent tool.
