Put application logs on a website somewhere

[n-rook]

It would be great if application logs were available on a website somewhere.

The main advantage of this would be that people could look at the app logs without needing SSH access to the central server.

There are a few ways we could go about doing this:

• Figure out a good, free third-party service that does log aggregation, and ship our logs to them. This is "easy" but log aggregation tends to be a pain in the ass. I would prefer to stay away from ELK because I've found it is difficult to work with, slow, and overly flexible.
• Run something ourselves on one of our own servers.
• Have nginx just expose systemd logs under http basic auth. I'm not sure if this is directly possible, but I bet we could get systemd to log to a file and then expose that file as a static file. This is janky as fuck but it would work.

systemd has Python bindings with access to the journal. I haven't found anything regarding reading the logs from uWSGI from the app though
