Gday Everyone,
Does anyone know if I can use netdata agent to collect various Application Metrics such as apache or catalina access.log file remotely (but within local network) ? We do not want to alter the remote system by either installing netdata agent or trying this with docker. Can this somehow be achieved by reading the file remotely by using ssh ?
Thank you
Hi, @pgro. No, reading files remotely is not possible. But you can gather metrics (HTTP request) from a remote Apache instance. A lot of collectors can collect metrics from remote and local instances, it is just a matter of configuration.
Sorry, I lost you, by saying remote apache instance you simply mean an HTTP pointer? I just want to analyze the access.log pattern.
Yes. Because Apache exposes some basic metrics via HTTP, see mod_status.
analyze the access.log pattern.
No, not possible.
Thank you for your help
