04/04/2022, 7:55 PM@PK I have a client using the Elastic APM ELK stack for this and it's pretty amazing. There's some setup and maint required to get all the servers sending over their log files, but once it's setup you can do all sorts of searches and reports on them.

04/04/2022, 7:56 PMIf you just want something like error reporting, I'd recommend a service like Sentry which you hook up to LogBox or your app's error handler. You can host your own Sentry server in Docker pretty easy.
