Loggly is a cloud-based log management service provider. It does not require the use of proprietary software agents to collect log data. The service uses open source technologies, including ElasticSearch, Apache Lucene 4 and Apache Kafka.https://media.trustradius.com/product-logos/TX/7a/XBEALBH1GP69.pngSolarWindsDetailed logging without much setup.2019-05-20T20:04:12.911ZWe are using Loggly to better monitor and debug a large scale application platform that is leveraging multiple microservices. We also have it configured into our web application talking to these services. Loggly provides us detailed information across all four environments (development, QA, UAT, Production) that enables us to better analyze and consolidate activity that can be interrelated at times.,Aggregation

Organization,7,It has made it easier to store all of our logs
It has been difficult to properly filter data
It allows us to easily integrate with our various platforms,We have only used the basic dashboards to create basic filters of the content that we need. Even with the basic filters it was easy to target a specific environment and a specific logging level to view the details we need. The timeline filter was particularly useful in this regard. It's options are setup to hit the "sweet spot" of not being too granular or generic.,I have not leveraged the custom parsing or metadata tags yet.,Loggly,New Relic and Amazon CloudWatch,Microsoft Visual Studio Code, Visual Studio IDE, Microsoft SQL ServerSean PattersonA very good service but a little bit pricey2019-03-22T23:56:11.463ZWe tried Loggly in some of our servers for the monitoring and alerting of log files. We used it with Nginx on Ubuntu Linux. The problem was that it was too painful to monitor logs and find the necessary information without an app because logs are huge and you must log in every day with SSH and inspect all logs,Implementation. The implementation was pretty straight forward and worked very well. Also, it has a Laravel package.
Alerting. Creating alerts with emails or Slack was a piece of cake.
Filtering. Filter your logs was very easy and fast.
UI is very simple and easy to use.,Price. If you compare it to other similar apps it is very pricey. Especially for storage and user limitations.
Amazon S3 archiving is only for the pro package. Other apps give it for free.,7,I was checking logs 1/5 of time compared to before.
I was having Slack integration and alerting was immediate.
Some times integration may take some more CPU power.,I used Apache, Nginx and Ubuntu logs. Parsing was very good and I was really impressed because I have also tried other apps and I can say that Loggly was better with parsing the logs. Creating and tweaking dashboards can be very helpful. Especially if you isolate some status codes or URLS, then you can find the fake bots easily and block them from accessing your servers.,I created some derived fields to isolate bad requests. On my server I return specific status codes for suspicious requests. So I created the fields to make alerts better and see which requests were actually bad.,Logentries, Stackify Retrace, Sematext Logsene and Amazon CloudWatch,Logentries, Amazon CloudWatch, Stackify Retrace, Sematext LogseneMarios VasiliouLoggly: a great Commercially-Oriented Log Shipping / Filter Pipeline, that will add value to your Company DevOps Department2019-03-27T20:31:19.519ZWhile Loggly is not technically open-source, it is a modern platform for log-file analysis. Oftentimes, in our projects we will acquire competing DevOps stacks, in order to evaluate their effectiveness for us. Our criteria is usually very simple: 1. Does it work? 2.) Does it work on Linux? 3.) Does it use .config file format, or similar plaintext config files? (we generally try to stay away from XML-based file formats, or proprietary formats (think: binary), due to the overhead, and complexity that we feel does not work for us) 4.) is it modern? (i.e. if there is a UX component to the project, does it employ web-standards, such as NodeJS, HTML5, Angular, et. al) 5. It is open-source friendly? (i.e. is it built with Open Source tools, or is the Licensing less restrictive than Microsoft EULA?) Technical difficulty is almost never a concern for my team.,Modern: Loggly is modern: Dashboards, realtime information and the ability speak many different data sources and environments makes it an attractive choice
Configurability: Loggly gets log parsing right: by allowing you to in real time- filtering of log data, tagging and identifying data sources
DevOps friendly: Loggly is very Componentized: You can have an instance of Loggly running that will Monitor your Linux instance, in addition to all of it's services, as an example. Also, you can start/stop Loggly, without affecting your other components,Commodity: Loggly is protected by the company's need to convert Loggly into a retail product. While this is fine for the Company, it may limit individual developers from having immediate access to a product they would otherwise adopt. Therefore, Loggly really is geared towards Companies and Commercial Entities
Feature creep: Loggly stands in competition with other packages that are open-sourced. And while this is not bad from a Commercial view point (every needs to eat, right?), it almost automatically makes it a 2nd place package, without adding in a killer feature that adds additional value to Developers and DevOps Analysts
Parsing: Sometimes, when working with other packages, you get used to a configuration format. Loggly is not so dissimilar that it's hard to read / write, but it's not a one-to-one with say, Logstash. This is more of an annoyance than a real problem, and if you include putting your files into a Repo, then this is even less an annoyance.,10,(Positive, actually!) Cost of Acquisition: Loggly is not OpenSource (i.e. Free in this case). Therefore, while you have a cost up front, you have a wealth of support from the people that built it, which can translate into Time savings and/or bringing contractors on-board just for augmentation purposes
Negative: Loggly covers a lot of the features that other Open Source Projects cover. That being said, it's regulated by supply and demand, and thus it has a certain "desirability" as a commercial (and therefore stable) project. As a result, unless you are an employee working in a company that sees Loggly as a necessary tool, you will probably not be exposed to it on your own
(Positive): Tagging of information, and filtering of logs makes this product worthwhile from a commercial perspective: You can train your employees, and have them filtering logs in a day. If they get stuck, you don't have to pull internal resources away to support them, you simply open a ticket with Loggly.,Actually, we did not use any of the out-of-the box dashboards, except to get perspective on what Loggly is capable of doing. I did create custom dashboards, that allows us to monitor the project we are using Loggly for.
Our custom dashboard allows for filtering, logging and mining of the data that we specifically are collecting.,Since our dashboards are custom, we also define custom rules. Our philosophy is to design a "Dashboard" in an abstract sense: define everything from the color palette, to the fonts. We then drop in the controls, forms and charts as needed. to support Those goals, we will define rules based on two factors: What our current UX specification dictates, and what the data calls for in filtering. There are occasions, where we need to grab just literally everything and pool it into some other destination (i.e. ElasticSearch)- which means you don't want any filtering at the Loggly level. Therefore, some of our derived fields maybe as simple as :

and that's it!Verified UserLoggly simply works2019-03-11T19:35:22.513ZWe use Loggly to monitor and secure our servers across our portfolio of satellite setups. It is used primarily to manage the typical maintenance of our systems, but has also evolved to become part of our security workflow.,Flexible dashboards
Ease of initial installation
Live feed is useful and allows for quick exploration of incoming issues,Initial setup of dashboards has a steep learning curve.
I find help and guides to be lacking.
I find the subscription offers are not accomodating for all use cases, and should be finer grained to allow for a better price/need match.,8,Improved asset and process management
Support turnaround time has markedly improved since we have implemented Loggly.Verified UserPerfect for home usage2019-03-06T14:26:48.485ZI use Loggly at my home for monitoring the logs from around 10 services. It saves me time by reviewing logs online. Loggly also helped me solve a problem with one of my services I wasn't even aware of. Currently, Loggly works on one of my machines which produces around 500 logs daily so I can't say much about performance. Search windows recommend names of the indexed fields so you don't have to know the structure by heart. You can easily install file monitoring by running a prepared script from SolarWinds, which will update your rsyslog configuration, which is nice. In my current company, we use a similar tool 'Kibana ' and I don't see much differences.,Runs in the cloud. You don't have to install it on premise.
Has a prepared script for rsyslog updates. You don't have to know your rsyslog configuration, the prepared script will do all the work for you.,I can't change the order of the tabs (saved searches).,10,I don't use it for business.

We can search for logs.
They provide prompt support and were helpful.,Searching for logs can be difficult at times.
It is not very intuitive and takes some time to learn before getting used to it.,7,It helped us to improve our system performance and hence provide a better experience for our users.Verified UserA solid solution to log overload2019-01-11T21:22:23.379ZOur organization uses Loggly both for our own internal systems as well as for the websites and services that we provide our clients. We funnel all log-type output from every conceivable place into Loggly, and it allows us to search, filter, correlate events, and receive alerts when bad things start to happen. It's become one of our most valuable troubleshooting tools, as well as an increasingly-preventative measure before or as problems arise.,Collects logs from pretty much any place you can imagine. Many applications have Loggly integration, many programming languages have Loggly libraries, and pushing other logs into Loggly is easily scriptable and automatable.
Searching and filtering is incredibly deep, and often very intuitive. You can drill down through any data set, filtering or searching on any value within that data set.
Saved graphs and dashboards are a great way to visualize what's happening without having to read through each log entry.,Loggly has a significant learning curve to figure out how to use it. At first, it can be daunting staring at a collection of thousands and thousands of logs wondering how you're supposed to make sense of any of it. The initial onboarding and training experience could be better in my opinion.
Loggly's user interface is adequate but does have some room for improvement in my opinion. It is a collection of tools which work well on their own, and which do tie into each other in many ways, but it doesn't feel like there is a good, cohesive, overall workflow to the application. This is a bit vague, but I feel like it needs more of a concept of a "user dashboard" when you log in providing an overview of things like important/flagged recent log entries, detected anomalies, recently tripped alerts, perhaps links to your favorite or most common/recent graph dashboards.
There is always room for more integrations and more ways to pull/collect logs. I would love to see Loggly offer a service which periodically pulls updated logs via SFTP, without the need for me to set up an intermediate shell script on a timer.,10,Loggly has allowed us to solve some very complex and non-obvious problems through its correlations and filtering/searching ability across all of our log sources. Saving time diagnosing issues has provided a positive ROI on our Loggly costs.
Loggly has allowed us to proactively discover issues before our clients do. Every time that happens, it's helping our reputation and in turn ensuring our customers continue to look to us when they have a need and recommend us to their associates.
Loggly has allowed team members to always know where to go when we need to find logs, which is a huge time saver. Additionally, it allows other team members to help troubleshoot issues who might not have access to the individual systems that the logs reside on, freeing up system admins for other tasks.,PaperTrail, Logentries, Logstash, Graylog and Splunk Cloud,MindMeister, draw.io, GitHub, Trello, Atlassian ConfluenceBen McClureLoggly made my logging simple & fast2018-07-06T17:45:53.654ZLoggly is being used by our technical team to manage the tracks of our cloud infrastructure.
