ELERA Log Monitor

Local ELERA logs without the setup drag.

ELERA Log Monitor packages Grafana, Loki, and Promtail into a Docker Hub bundle for local ELERA environments. It gives support teams a focused dashboard for the ELERA containers they usually need to inspect first.

The bundle provisions the dashboard automatically, binds services to localhost by default, and generates machine-specific Promtail targets from the local Docker environment.

Focused on the ELERA containers that matter

The dashboard is pre-filtered for the local ELERA services support teams usually need when troubleshooting demos, development environments, and customer support scenarios.

Single dashboard

The provisioned Elera Logs dashboard centralizes log views and recent container status in Grafana.

1-minute default refresh
Status cards for expected containers
Quick drilldown into noisy services

Local log collection

Promtail reads Docker JSON logs from the Linux Docker host filesystem and sends them to Loki for fast local querying.

Generated local paths
Starts from current file position
Monitoring containers excluded from ELERA view

Docker Hub delivery

The public bundle image exports the compose stack locally without embedding proprietary ELERA application code.

Repeatable local setup

Dashboard and drilldown views

Use the dashboard for high-level service visibility, then jump into drilldown or Explore when a specific container needs deeper review.

Docker Hub setup

Pull the bundle image, export the stack, point it at your local ELERA Docker network, generate Promtail targets, and start the services.

Linux and WSL2 flow

docker pull redlistsolutions/elera-log-monitor:latest
docker run --rm -v "$PWD:/output" redlistsolutions/elera-log-monitor:latest export
cd ./elera-log-monitor
docker inspect elera-nginx --format '{{range $k, $v := .NetworkSettings.Networks}}{{$k}}{{end}}'
export ELERA_DOCKER_NETWORK=your_elera_network_name
./scripts/generate-promtail-config.sh
docker compose up -d

Before you start

The monitor expects a local ELERA environment that is already running in Docker. ELERA_DOCKER_NETWORK must match the Docker network used by that ELERA stack.

Platform support

The bundle is intentionally tuned for local support environments where Docker log files are available from a Linux-compatible host path.

Linux Supported and recommended for native host setup.

Windows Supported through WSL2 with Docker using the WSL2 backend.

macOS Not currently supported as a native host setup because the stack depends on Linux Docker paths.

Local-first security defaults

The monitoring stack is designed for local development and support use, with the operational pieces generated on the target machine.

Local bindings

Grafana, Loki, and Promtail are bound to 127.0.0.1 by default to keep the stack local unless you deliberately expose it.

No embedded secrets

The repository does not store passwords, API keys, tokens, or private credentials.

Generated runtime files

Promtail paths and position files are generated locally because Docker container IDs and log paths are machine-specific.
