dashboards, and alerting across your infrastructure, application, and service logs. It gives you the information you need, all in one place, so you can take appropriate action immediately. Loggly makes it easy to connect and configure virtually any application or infrastructure log source. Loggly-automatic indexing and parsing of log data at ingest makes it easy to find important information quickly. Instead of having to know in advance which specific log entries or errors must be manually searched, Loggly helps find the information for you. It automatically parses fields, and you can even create your own custom parsing rules to embed what you've learned during troubleshooting search efforts to automate future log processing. The Surround Search capability helps you quickly determine what led up to an event of interest. In just a few clicks, you can go from an important application service error, to a failing purchase transaction, to the likely root cause. You can also drill into data, such as Apache statuses, using the Loggly Dynamic Field Explorer. The fields and their values are displayed automatically. You can filter by status code and see all the relevant Apache log entries for whatever time period you select. Loggly lets you quickly create alerts. For example, once you know which searches have successfully found the cause of a problem, you can embed your troubleshooting expertise into an automated, alert-based workflow using Loggly-saved searches to proactively prevent the same issue from occurring again. The Loggly Dynamic Field Explorer can also be used to create dashboards, so everyone on your team is working from the same knowledge base. There is a large library of pre-configured dashboards which are easy to customize. You can even view your logs in real-time with LiveTail, which uses filtering and color coding to help focus your attention where it matters most. Loggly is a workflow-integrated component of the broader SolarWinds Application Performance Management solutions. It integrates with user experience monitoring and infrastructure, and application service performance monitoring, to deliver comprehensive visibility across your entire stack. Monitor, analyze, and manage your infrastructure, application, and service logs with SolarWinds Loggly.
