How it works#

  1. Answer a few questions. They only fill in the setup steps. Nothing on this page connects to your servers: Logthread never reaches into your network.
  2. Run one command on the server. The next page shows the command with this connector's ingest key filled in. It downloads the Logthread Agent from downloads.logthread.com and installs it as a service (Linux, as root with sudo). No other download.
  3. Data arrives. Everything is collected inside your environment. It is sent over outbound HTTPS (port 443) to ingest.logthread.com. Nothing is opened to the internet: no inbound ports, VPN or public access to your servers. The connection page shows what has arrived and turns Active with the first record.

Setup#

These are the steps for the default answers. In the app, they follow your answers, and the connector's ingest key replaces YOUR_INGEST_KEY.

Step 1. Install the Logthread Agent. On the host: CPU load, memory, disks, filesystems, network and processes every 30 seconds, and the systemd journal (info and above). Hosts without journald read /var/log/syslog or messages.

curl -sSL https://downloads.logthread.com/agent/install.sh | sudo sh -s -- \
  --key YOUR_INGEST_KEY --profiles linux-host --fleet

Step 2. Wait for data. Metrics arrive within a minute.

Check that it works#

The connection page under Integrations counts what has arrived and turns Active with the first record. In Explore, search service:linux-host.

Then add#

Each is one click on the connection page and opens with your data, so you can check it before saving.

  • Dashboard: Linux host: Load, memory, disk and network per host, and journal errors.
  • Alert: Journal errors: service:linux-host severity:(error|fatal), at least 20 in 10 minutes
