Apache error logs for peopleweb (rutherfordium) are now present in ELK. These can be found by searching in Kibana for host:rutherfordium, or program.raw:input-file-apache2-error for example. The volume of errors is low so it may help to search across a wide time range.

@herron please note that rutherfordium is being replaced by people1001 as we speak (jessie -> stretch). Currently in progress. The new host already has the role and i will switch Varnish backend this week. If there are any manual steps involved or the hostname rutherfordium is hardcoded, that would need changes. [T210036]

Ah! Good to know. The log shipping configs were applied at the role level so no host specific changes would be needed, but do let me know if any related issues arise during the stretch upgrade!
