Leif: every machine. every log. one view.

Leif is the self-hosted log and asset server for robotics and manufacturing environments. Your Dobots, PLCs and peripherals send their messages to Leif via TCP or REST. You see everything live in the browser, on the facility map and as an alert in Microsoft Teams.

What Leif does for you

Live view in the browser

New logs appear in real time, with full-text search and filters by robot, level and station.

Live facility map

Upload your floor plan and place a marker per robot: green runs, yellow warns, red needs attention. Ideal as a TV wallboard on the shop floor.

Alerts in Microsoft Teams

Critical messages reach the right Teams channel immediately, with regex patterns per channel, deduplication and cooldown against alert floods.

Traceability

Trace IDs let you follow connected processes, for example a complete production order across several stations.

Grafana & Metabase ready

Loki-compatible API for existing dashboards, PostgreSQL storage for deep SQL analysis.

100% self-hosted

Docker Compose, no cloud, no data sharing. Your production data stays in your plant.

Leif FAQ

What is Leif?

Leif is a self-hosted log and asset server for robotics and manufacturing environments. Robots, PLCs and peripheral devices send their messages to Leif via TCP or REST, where you get a live view, a shop floor map, Teams alerts and analytics.

Where is the data from Leif stored?

Exclusively on your side: Leif runs via Docker Compose on your own infrastructure, stores data in PostgreSQL and does not send anything to a cloud.

Can Leif be connected to Grafana?

Yes. Leif provides a Loki-compatible API for existing Grafana dashboards and PostgreSQL storage for deep SQL analysis, for example with Metabase.

Which devices can I connect to Leif?

Anything that speaks TCP or REST: Dobot robots (CR series, M1 Pro, MG400), PLCs, test rigs, your own applications. For each device you create a client ID with its own API key in the admin panel.
