Production Deployments¶

This section documents production-ready deployment options for rsyslog-based logging infrastructure. These deployments go beyond basic container images to provide complete stacks with visualization, alerting, and monitoring.

Available Deployments¶

ROSI Collector¶

RSyslog Open System for Information is a complete log collection and monitoring stack including:

Centralized log aggregation with rsyslog
Log storage with Grafana Loki
Visualization with Grafana dashboards
Metrics collection with Prometheus
Automatic TLS with Traefik

Get started with ROSI Collector

Deployment Comparison¶

Feature	Container Image	ROSI Collector	Custom Stack
Log reception	✓	✓	✓
Log storage	File only	Loki (queryable)	Your choice
Dashboards	—	✓ (pre-built)	Your choice
Alerting	—	✓	Your choice
Metrics	—	✓ (Prometheus)	Your choice
TLS	Manual	Automatic	Your choice
Setup complexity	Low	Medium	High

When to Use Each Option¶

Container Images (Rsyslog Containers)

Use the base container images when you want full control over your deployment or are integrating rsyslog into an existing infrastructure.

ROSI Collector (ROSI Collector)

Use ROSI Collector when you need a complete, production-ready logging stack with minimal configuration. Ideal for:

Teams without existing log infrastructure
Quick proof-of-concept deployments
Small to medium environments (up to hundreds of hosts)
Organizations wanting pre-built dashboards and alerts

Custom Stack

Build your own stack when you have specific requirements that aren’t met by the provided deployments, or when integrating with enterprise systems like Elasticsearch, Splunk, or cloud logging services.
