# VictoriaLogs Single

Generated on 14 Jan 2026 from [the VictoriaLogs Single catalog page](https://marketplace.digitalocean.com/apps/victorialogs-single)

**VictoriaLogs** is open source user-friendly database for logs from [VictoriaMetrics](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/).

[VictoriaLogs](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/victorialogs/) can accept logs from popular [log collectors](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/victorialogs/data-ingestion/). It provides easy yet powerful query language with full-text search capabilities across all the [log fields](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/victorialogs/keyconcepts/#data-model) via [LogsQL query language](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/victorialogs/logsql/) and supports fast full-text search over high-cardinality [log fields](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/VictoriaLogs/keyConcepts.html#data-model) such as `trace_id`, `user_id` and `ip` as wel as out-of-order logs’ ingestion aka backfilling.

VictoriaLogs can be seamlessly combined with good old Unix tools for log analysis such as `grep`, `less`, `sort`, `jq`, etc. See [these docs](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/victorialogs/querying/#command-line) for details.

VictoriaLogs capacity and performance scales linearly with the available resources (CPU, RAM, disk IO, disk space)

## Creating an App using the API

In addition to creating a Droplet from the VictoriaLogs Single 1-Click App using the control panel, you can also use the [DigitalOcean API](https://docs.digitalocean.com/reference/api). As an example, to create a 4GB VictoriaLogs Single Droplet in the SFO2 region, you can use the following `curl` command. You need to either save your [API access token](https://docs.digitalocean.com/reference/api/create-personal-access-token/index.html.md) to an environment variable or substitute it in the command below.

```shell
curl -X POST -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
         -H 'Authorization: Bearer '$TOKEN'' -d \
        '{"name":"choose_a_name","region":"sfo2","size":"s-2vcpu-4gb","image":"victoriametrics-victorialogssing"}' \
        "https://api.digitalocean.com/v2/droplets"
```

## Getting Started After Deploying VictoriaLogs Single

### Config

VictoriaLogs configuration is located at `/etc/victorialogs/single/victorialogs.conf` on the droplet.

This One Click app uses 9428 port to accept logs from popular [log collectors](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/victorialogs/data-ingestion/) like:

- [Filebeat](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/victorialogs/data-ingestion/filebeat/)
- [Fluentbit](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/victorialogs/data-ingestion/fluentbit/)
- [Fluentd](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/victorialogs/data-ingestion/fluentd/)
- [Logstash](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/victorialogs/data-ingestion/logstash/)
- [Vector](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/victorialogs/data-ingestion/vector/)
- [Promtail](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/victorialogs/data-ingestion/promtail/)
- [Telegraf](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/victorialogs/data-ingestion/telegraf/)
- [OpenTelemetry setup](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/victorialogs/data-ingestion/opentelemetry/)
- [Syslog](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/victorialogs/data-ingestion/syslog/)

See more details and examples in [official documentation](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/VictoriaLogs/).

### Web UI

VictoriaLogs provides a [User Interface (UI)](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/victorialogs/querying/#web-ui) for query troubleshooting and exploration. The UI is available at `http://your_droplet_public_ipv4:9428/select/vmui/`. It lets users explore query results via graphs and tables.

### Accessing

Run the following command to check that VictoriaLogs is healthy and ready to accept for data ingestion:

```
curl -sg http://your_droplet_public_ipv4:9428/health
```

Once the Droplet is created, you can use DigitalOcean’s web console to start a session or SSH directly to the server as root:

```
ssh root@your_droplet_public_ipv4
```
