So was working on something for a few days and figured I would share it. For sometime I have been running a Live Logging collection flow through Node-Red. It basically connects to the websocket for Live Logging and then formats it and writes it to InfluxDB. The there is a Grafana dashboard that access that data and displays it in a way that is very consumable. This dashboard is shown below
A while back I saw the beginning of a driver that attempted to write live logging info out to a syslog Server. I have combined the two ideas and here are the results.
Here is a virtual driver that will connect to the local hub and output it's live logging to InfluxDB
Here is the JSON you can import to Grafana to create the dashboard.

This driver combined with this dashboard for Grafana will give you what you see above. You do need to have a working InfluxDB v2 instance, and use a Auth Token for access. I don't have a 1.8 version of InfluxDB anymore. The Grafana dashboard will need to be updated to point to the correct DB once installed as well. If someone wants to actively test a Influx 1.x version I can make the appropriate changes for someone to validate. Just let me know.
