Remote server

[junior tehe]

Hello Everybody,

I just want to know if is it possible to use mtail command for remote servers. i mean how to scrap metrics log (request code) for a remote server. If yes, how can i do it?

I need your help.

mtail can only read files and named pipes.  If you wanted, you could try to make a named pipe receive from a TCP socket using something like netcat or socat; if you wanted you could nfs mount the remote filesystem to make the files visble to mtail.

However I don't recommend either -- the best way to get logs from a remote system to mtail is to use a log transport like rsyslog and then write them to a named pipe for mtail to consume.
