Logagent
Lightweight open-source, cloud-native data shipper for Server, Container, and Application Logs.
Modern, open-source, light-weight data shipper
Logagent is a modern, open-source, light-weight data shipper with out of the box and extensible log parsing, on-disk buffering, secure transport and bulk indexing to Elasticsearch and Sematext Cloud. Its low memory footprint and low CPU overhead makes it suitable for deploying on edge nodes and devices, while its ability to parse and structure logs makes it a great Logstash alternative.
Setting up log shipping was so hard with any other tool ... but with Sematext Logagent it worked like magic! And your support is like mind blowing!
