Logpresso Store

Install Guide

When the app is first launched, the dashboards may appear empty. You must complete the logger setup after the initial app installation.

Configure Connection Profile

Refer to this guide to create a connection profile.

Required fields are highlighted in light blue:

Name: Unique name for the connection profile
Code: Identifier used in queries or loggers to reference the profile
Type: SSH
Host: IP address or hostname of the Apache HTTP server
Port: SSH port (default: 22)
User: SSH login username
Authentication Type: Choose between Authentication Key (recommended) or Password
Timeout: Maximum connection wait time (default: 30 seconds)

Caution

It is strongly recommended to use SSH keys. If you choose password authentication, avoid using weak or default passwords.

Note

The login account should only have permission to read the Apache HTTP server logs.

Click Set Public Key to display the steps for enabling key-based SSH authentication and to view your public key:

By default, Apache HTTP Server stores logs under /var/log/httpd. Ensure the Logpresso login user is added to the same group as the log files, so that they are readable. To verify access, run the following test query:

sftp ssh-example cat /var/log/httpd/PATH/TO/access_log

If the content is returned, the account has sufficient permissions.

Set Up Logger

Refer to this guide to configure the logger. Default dashboards and datasets reference tables prefixed with WEB_APACHE.

Required fields are highlighted in light blue:

Name: Unique name for the logger
Interval: 5 seconds
Storage: Select an appropriate node based on your Logpresso configuration.
Logger Model: Apache HTTP Server – SFTP
Table: Use a name starting with WEB_APACHE
SSH Profile: Use the identifier of the connection profile created earlier
File Path: Full path to the log directory on the Apache HTTP server

Once complete, return to the dashboard to view the collected results.
