Features and Benefits
Papertrail is the log management service we’ve all wanted as technologists, entrepreneurs, and sysadmins. That means:
- Instant log visibility. Diagnosing a monitoring alert, an app server error, a customer service ticket, or a missing email? Just search for what you know.
- See related events together. For example, watch logs from all systems in given Deployment, or all database servers, or all systems in us-west, or all Rails request messages.
- Realtime matters. Log messages are in your browser less than 2 seconds after they happen.
- Spread visibility around. Let less-technical staff take advantage of logs (without SSH/RDP knowledge or access).
.. plus nightly summary emails, monitoring alerts, command-line “tail” client, and more.
Common Use Cases
- Aggregate. Log to the cloud and get all text output in one place.
- Search. Intuitive Boolean search works like GMail for your logs.
- Tail. See new messages as they arrive (Web, command-line, and REST API).
- React. Save searches for the whole team to use, trigger alerts to notify your monitoring systems, receive slow SQL queries in email, and more.
- Analyze. Load billions of log messages in Hadoop (Hive SQL) with our step-by-step instructions.
- Archive. Download months of logs as a convenient compressed file per day.
