Tailon is a web application for viewing and searching log files.
The following example will configure the service with default values.
By default, Tailon can be accessed on port 8080 (http://localhost:8080).
(service tailon-service-type)
The following example customises more of the Tailon configuration,
adding sed to the list of allowed commands.
(service tailon-service-type
(tailon-configuration
(config-file
(tailon-configuration-file
(allowed-commands '("tail" "grep" "awk" "sed"))))))
Data type representing the configuration of Tailon. This type has the following parameters:
config-file (default: (tailon-configuration-file))The configuration file to use for Tailon. This can be set to a tailon-configuration-file record value, or any gexp (see G-Expressions).
For example, to instead use a local file, the local-file function
can be used:
(service tailon-service-type
(tailon-configuration
(config-file (local-file "./my-tailon.conf"))))
package (default: tailon)The tailon package to use.
Data type representing the configuration options for Tailon. This type has the following parameters:
files (default: (list "/var/log"))List of files to display. The list can include strings for a single file or directory, or a list, where the first item is the name of a subsection, and the remaining items are the files or directories in that subsection.
bind (default: "localhost:8080")Address and port to which Tailon should bind on.
relative-root (default: #f)URL path to use for Tailon, set to #f to not use a path.
allow-transfers? (default: #t)Allow downloading the log files in the web interface.
follow-names? (default: #t)Allow tailing of not-yet existent files.
tail-lines (default: 200)Number of lines to read initially from each file.
allowed-commands (default: (list "tail" "grep" "awk"))Commands to allow running. By default, sed is disabled.
debug? (default: #f)Set debug? to #t to show debug messages.
wrap-lines (default: #t)Initial line wrapping state in the web interface. Set to #t to
initially wrap lines (the default), or to #f to initially not
wrap lines.
http-auth (default: #f)HTTP authentication type to use. Set to #f to disable
authentication (the default). Supported values are "digest" or
"basic".
users (default: #f)If HTTP authentication is enabled (see http-auth), access will be
restricted to the credentials provided here. To configure users, use a
list of pairs, where the first element of the pair is the username, and
the 2nd element of the pair is the password.
(tailon-configuration-file
(http-auth "basic")
(users '(("user1" . "password1")
("user2" . "password2"))))
Darkstat is a packet sniffer that captures network traffic, calculates statistics about usage, and serves reports over HTTP.
This is the service type for the
darkstat
service, its value must be a darkstat-configuration record as in
this example:
(service darkstat-service-type
(darkstat-configuration
(interface "eno1")))
Data type representing the configuration of darkstat.
package (default: darkstat)The darkstat package to use.
interfaceCapture traffic on the specified network interface.
port (default: "667")Bind the web interface to the specified port.
bind-address (default: "127.0.0.1")Bind the web interface to the specified address.
base (default: "/")Specify the path of the base URL. This can be useful if
darkstat is accessed via a reverse proxy.
The Prometheus “node exporter” makes hardware and operating system statistics provided by the Linux kernel available for the Prometheus monitoring system. This service should be deployed on all physical nodes and virtual machines, where monitoring these statistics is desirable.
This is the service type for the
prometheus-node-exporter
service, its value must be a prometheus-node-exporter-configuration.
(service prometheus-node-exporter-service-type)
Data type representing the configuration of node_exporter.
package (default: go-github-com-prometheus-node-exporter)The prometheus-node-exporter package to use.
web-listen-address (default: ":9100")Bind the web interface to the specified address.
textfile-directory (default: "/var/lib/prometheus/node-exporter")This directory can be used to export metrics specific to this machine.
Files containing metrics in the text format, with the filename ending in
.prom should be placed in this directory.
extra-options (default: '())Extra options to pass to the Prometheus node exporter.
Zabbix is a high performance monitoring system that can collect data from a variety of sources and provide the results in a web-based interface. Alerting and reporting is built-in, as well as templates for common operating system metrics such as network utilization, CPU load, and disk space consumption.
This service provides the central Zabbix monitoring service; you also need
zabbix-front-end-service-type to configure Zabbix
and display results, and optionally zabbix-agent-service-type on machines that should be monitored (other
data sources are supported, such as Prometheus Node Exporter).
This is the service type for the Zabbix server service. Its value must be a
zabbix-server-configuration record, shown below.
Available zabbix-server-configuration fields are:
zabbix-server (default: zabbix-server) (type: file-like)The zabbix-server package.
user (default: "zabbix") (type: string)User who will run the Zabbix server.
