Open Source Log Management Software

Log Management software collects and organizes system logs, metrics, and distributed traces from various servers and microservices. These tools centralize scattered event data into a single interface to simplify troubleshooting and performance monitoring. This type of software serves developers and system administrators who need to query application errors and server events. By self-hosting these apps, you keep sensitive system logs and trace data on your own infrastructure instead of sending telemetry to external vendors.

This page lists 12 open source tools in the Log Management category. The most popular are Grafana, SigNoz and GoAccess. Most use the AGPL-3.0 or Apache-2.0 license, and 12 offer an official Docker image.
