Better Stack Ubuntu logging

Start logging in 2 minutes

Collect logs and metrics from your Ubuntu server using Vector.

Install and configure Vector on Ubuntu:

Set up Vector
curl -sSL https://logs.betterstack.com/setup-vector/ubuntu/$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.
