Any tool to visualize Traefik access logs? (sh.itjust.works)

Afternoon y’all -

I just spent the last few days fiddling with Prometheus under the impression I could visualize Traefik’s access logs with Perses however, after finally getting these three to communicate with one another it seems that Prometheus lacks the capability to query access logs.

I don’t host my own html/php, I typically find docker images like Invidious or Redlib spin them up in a compose/yaml file and reverse proxy them, my knowledge towards html/php is very minimal so when I read about adding files to the root path of my domain it may seem straight forward for some people but makes no sense to me, apologies if that comes off as ignorant.

I digress, I stumbled upon GoAccess and gave it a shot but from what I’m reading it seems that it needs access to the html that these application use to display reporting in a web-browser which I genuinely got no idea on how to do, Traefik currently spits access logs in a .log file which I assume would be enough to visualize from?

I want to thank everyone for their responses, I’ve been so busy that I couldn’t respond right away but I got GoAccess running and reverse proxied!

I was trying to stay away from Grafana and their associating applications as I’m under the impression they’re moving more towards close-sourced software and seem to be partnering with Google which lead to concerns in regard to data collection.

Goaccess reads the Traefik log and spits out an HTML file you can then serve via e.g. Nginx. Works for me.

Thank you for this! I never used Nginx directly and only thought of it as a reverse proxy but I had no idea it was capable of actually hosting html/php.

I went back to the drawing board so to say and was able to get GoAccess running, granted non-containerized on bare metal, and was able to reverse proxy the Nginx instance via Traefik.
