Description-en: Extract monitoring data from logs for collection in a timeseries database
Mtail is a tool for extracting metrics from application logs to be exported
into a timeseries database or timeseries calculator for alerting and
dashboarding.
.
It aims to fill a niche between applications that do not export their own
internal state, and existing monitoring systems, without patching those
applications or rewriting the same framework for custom extraction glue code.
.
Metrics are exported for scraping by a collector as JSON or Prometheus format
over HTTP, or can be periodically sent to a collectd, StatsD, or Graphite
collector socket.
