Overall Satisfaction with SolarWinds Papertrail

We use SolarWinds Papertrail extensively to collect logs from all our backend services, which helps a lot during the development, testing, and operation of a variety of interconnected services.
  • Collects logs from many sources in real time.
  • Makes it really easy to filter logs to dig into the logs of many services working simultaneously.
  • Alerts triggered on certain search matches.
  • Detection of log flooding.
  • Improved visibility or easier access to monthly limits and actual usage.
  • Improvements integrating with modern JavaScript runtimes (Node, Deno).
  • SolarWinds Papertrail cost compared to the benefits it provides is a win.
  • When the logs are flooded, and the monthly limits are reached, the failure to post new logs may be a significant drawback.
  • The great search/filter capabilities is key for speedy and precise debugging of incidents that may happen during testing and operation.

SolarWinds Papertrail is ideal to collect logs of all the different backend components running, helping the analysis of such logs during development, testing, and operation of the services provided. It does not replace, i.e., logging everything to files inside each component but having everything in real-time in the same place with a great search/filter engine is key.
