Better Stack Nginx logging

Start logging in 2 minutes

Collect logs and metrics from your Nginx webserver using Vector.

Select your platform:

Ubuntu • Debian

Install and configure Vector  on Ubuntu or Debian:

Set up Vector
curl -sSL https://logs.betterstack.com/setup-vector/nginx/$SOURCE_TOKEN \
  -o /tmp/setup-vector.sh && \
  bash /tmp/setup-vector.sh

Curious about what the script does?

  • Installs Vector using official package.
  • Configures Vector for your Better Stack source.
  • Enables and restarts Vector.

The script will ask for confirmation before making any changes.

You should see your logs in Better Stack → Live tail .

Check out your metrics in the Nginx dashboard .
