BLUF: Is there a “datadog-for-home”?

I’ve a ton of stuff running at home ranging from a 5-node PI cluster with various containers running on them including things like self-written python scripts doing “super important” stuff, node-red running everything about my energy setup, pfsense, TrueNAS etc.

Logging is painful and I’ve just lost about 4 hours trying to find a fault which stopped car charging. Lots of rabbit holes were entered as I currently don’t have an end-to-end logging solution.

​

What does everyone else use?

    Anyone else looking at openobserve. Looks OK for homelab, but not really stable

      What do you mean by not stable? It’s in use in production by hundreds of organizations.

        They state in their documentation that the software is alpha (https://openobserve.ai/docs/ OpenObserve is currently in alpha, but don’t let that stop you from trying it out.) . To be honest I didn’t bother to investigate why ingesting data stops working after a few days, might be my installation then.

        I’m very curious which organisation uses alpha software in production
