What is SolarWinds Loggly?

be diagnosed rapidly and resolved across all the dynamically changing components underpinning
your heterogeneous web applications, services, and infrastructure.

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.
It is not a very difficult system to set up and implement and gives you great usability and power to analyze and monitor a huge amount of logging across different systems.
Loggly's easy setup, very good customer support, and intuitive interface make Loggly very easy to use. User access management is also very easy as we can tailor the experience for each of our developers to access the information they need without having to wade through other information. While there was a slight learning curve in how to view the logs the way some specifically wanted, everything was possible and quite easy to do.
MUCH easier to use than the MySQL-backed syslog-ng aggregator we were using, complete with an open-source web based GUI we used to browse and search for logs. Loggly is both quicker and easier to configure searches for, quicker and easier to produce the results and at the same requires zero maintenance, it *just* works...
It works pretty well. I sometimes get confused in the UI, like when something will open a new tab, or that it sorts descending by default (which is fine but I am used to looking at logs the opposite way). I mentioned the issues I have with regex. I also wanted to mention again that I would really love to be able to put multiple metrics into a table so they take up an appropriate amount of room for a single number.
I also get confused around updating a saved search. I always create a copy because 'save as a copy' is the primary action button, which seems like that could arguably be a secondary action when you make changes to a thing.
