LogTrail is a Kibana plugin that provides a Papertrail-inspired interface to view, search, and live tail log events from multiple hosts stored in Elasticsearch. It is now deprecated in favor of Kibana's built-in tail logs feature.

Use cases

  • live tail log events from multiple hosts in kibana
  • search centralized logs with lucene query syntax
  • filter aggregated logs by host and program
  • view syslog events in a devops friendly interface
  • seek to logs based on time range
  • color code log messages by field values

When to choose

  • you run an older Kibana 5.x/6.x/7.x cluster without the built-in tail logs feature
  • you want a simple Papertrail-like log viewer on top of your existing Elasticsearch stack
  • you need host/program filtering and live tailing for centralized logs

When to avoid

  • you use a recent Kibana version with the built-in tail logs observability feature
  • you need actively maintained software or support for new Kibana releases
  • you require features beyond log viewing such as dashboards or alerting
