Selfhosted syslog/centralized logging system?

I have an edge router x that keep crashing.  I have not been able to
find any rhyme or reason why, and by the time I pull the plug and turn
it back on, any meaningful logs are gone.


What are you all using for some kind of centralized logging system?
Gui would be really cool, but not necessary.


I have a jack of all trades Ubuntu server 22.04 so I'd prefer to
install it there.  Would prefer something that's easier to set up as
opposed to something that's more complex, even if it comes with all
the bells and whistles.  Seems like rsyslog would be the best for
that.

Telegraf (syslof plugin) > Influx > Grafana or netdata or zabbix and
so on.

If you need this troubleshooting aid once then you can probably enable
remote logging on your router and capture logs on your ubuntu with
netcat or oneliner in python, checkout OpenWRT guide -
[https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/base-system/log.essentials#networ
k\_logging](https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/base-
system/log.essentials#network_logging)

On the other hand if you are building somewhat permanent solution I'd
recommend [grafana loki](https://grafana.com/oss/loki/). It does not
provide full text search like ELK but good enough for low volume
setups like homelabs
