Where is this functionality at? Is there a workaround? I work for a computer that makes Linux appliances. If I could get $1 for every registered license of this, I could retire and volunteer my time working for you, for free. :D ]]> RE: Feature Request: remote SFTP/SSH login (linux) https://www.logfusion.ca/Discussions/View/feature-request-remote-sftpssh-login-linux/?ID=ef21119b-4087-407d-92f3-b7924538b4a9#13 Tue, 07 Jun 2016 18:06:54 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.logfusion.ca/Discussions/View/feature-request-remote-sftpssh-login-linux/?ID=ef21119b-4087-407d-92f3-b7924538b4a9#13 LogFusion I'd like this feature too. As a work around I'm just sharing my log folder over Samba with authentication as a networked drive; works pretty well. ]]> RE: Feature Request: remote SFTP/SSH login (linux) https://www.logfusion.ca/Discussions/View/feature-request-remote-sftpssh-login-linux/?ID=ef21119b-4087-407d-92f3-b7924538b4a9#12 Tue, 24 May 2016 23:28:31 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.logfusion.ca/Discussions/View/feature-request-remote-sftpssh-login-linux/?ID=ef21119b-4087-407d-92f3-b7924538b4a9#12 LogFusion you could try webdrive, rsync or scp that runs in a loop, or btsync to sync a folder of your choice. lot of ways to do this in the mean time. ]]> RE: Feature Request: remote SFTP/SSH login (linux) https://www.logfusion.ca/Discussions/View/feature-request-remote-sftpssh-login-linux/?ID=ef21119b-4087-407d-92f3-b7924538b4a9#11 Thu, 07 Apr 2016 08:25:08 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.logfusion.ca/Discussions/View/feature-request-remote-sftpssh-login-linux/?ID=ef21119b-4087-407d-92f3-b7924538b4a9#11 LogFusion Just wondering if anyone's tried using a tool like Swish (http://www.swish-sftp.org/) to map a network drive so that LogFusion can monitor the files live.

UPDATE: 2016-05-23 Whilst Swish does work nicely with Explorer and can present "Copy as Path" etc, LogFusion reports "no such interface" when trying to list *.log in a directory mapped by Swish and it won't open the file with the full path given, either.
Conclusion: Not a workable option at this time. ]]> RE: Feature Request: remote SFTP/SSH login (linux) https://www.logfusion.ca/Discussions/View/feature-request-remote-sftpssh-login-linux/?ID=ef21119b-4087-407d-92f3-b7924538b4a9#10 Thu, 13 Aug 2015 13:05:02 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.logfusion.ca/Discussions/View/feature-request-remote-sftpssh-login-linux/?ID=ef21119b-4087-407d-92f3-b7924538b4a9#10 LogFusion It would be preferable to perform a live tail thru SSH and not a local cached copy. ]]> RE: Feature Request: remote SFTP/SSH login (linux) https://www.logfusion.ca/Discussions/View/feature-request-remote-sftpssh-login-linux/?ID=ef21119b-4087-407d-92f3-b7924538b4a9#9 Wed, 22 Jul 2015 03:48:54 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.logfusion.ca/Discussions/View/feature-request-remote-sftpssh-login-linux/?ID=ef21119b-4087-407d-92f3-b7924538b4a9#9 LogFusion I'm highly counting on this feature.

I'm working at a large hospital, where our server farm consists of 50% linux boxes so it would be really nice to have an integrated ssh / sftp client to select and download remote logs from linux boxes from within logfusion. Currently I have to deal with WinSCP to get my logs downloaded and then use logfusion to analyze them.

Greetings and thanks from Germany,

Mathias

So basically, LogFusion would just connect, show a list of log files, and then when you select one, it downloads it to a local cache and opens it? ]]> Feature Request: remote SFTP/SSH login (linux) https://www.logfusion.ca/Discussions/View/feature-request-remote-sftpssh-login-linux/?ID=ef21119b-4087-407d-92f3-b7924538b4a9 Thu, 07 Mar 2013 13:54:16 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.logfusion.ca/Discussions/View/feature-request-remote-sftpssh-login-linux/?ID=ef21119b-4087-407d-92f3-b7924538b4a9 LogFusion Could it be possible in the future to login to a remote directory with SSH/SFTP on linux?

I also see some caveats, like when you login as root but you need to sudo (su) your way in to actualy look the log files.

But the linux admin could make a cronjob to make a copy of the logs in the roots /home/.. etc etc.

I now create a tarbal in my /home/, copy that with SFTP to my local machine, unzip it and then look at it with logfusion..

Any suggestions to make my life easier is welcome.. (and no I dont have xserver running so can not connect to a remote desktop to use the many linux GUI log view applications)..

Type and ready you later,
Pieter ]]>
